Anthropic Cost Optimization
Cut your Claude API bill. OhChimp reads org usage, flags Opus traffic for cheaper models, batchable jobs at 50% off, and unused prompt caching.
How does OhChimp connect to Anthropic?
With a read-only organization Admin API key (sk-ant-admin...) in the x-api-key header. OhChimp verifies the key has admin scope by listing one org member, then reads only the Messages Usage Report and the Cost Report. It never calls the Messages API and never stores prompts, completions, secrets, or application data.
Does OhChimp need write access or see my prompts?
No. The Admin API key OhChimp uses reads organization usage and cost data only. It sees token counts per model and service tier plus billed amounts, never the contents of your requests or responses. Nothing about your workloads is stored.
What Anthropic costs can OhChimp actually reduce?
Frontier-priced spend on Opus that could move to Sonnet or Haiku, standard-tier traffic the Batch API would bill at a 50% discount, and cache-capable models running heavy input volume with zero cached reads. It also flags priority-tier tokens billing above standard and cross-checks every estimate against your real Cost Report spend.
Who applies the changes, and can they be rolled back?
You do. Each fix is a reviewable plan with a confidence score, a risk level, and rollback steps. Nothing changes until you click apply, and you are always the one who clicks. OhChimp applies the matching code and infrastructure changes together.
How are the savings verified, and how is OhChimp priced?
Against your real Anthropic bill. A plan is marked VERIFIED only after 7 or more days, a drop of at least 10%, and 3 consecutive positive checks. Otherwise it stays flagged not implemented. Pricing is a flat monthly fee with no cut of your savings, plus a year-one ROI guarantee: a full refund of subscription fees if it does not pay for itself in your first 12 months on a paid plan.
