OpenAI Cost Optimization
Cut your OpenAI bill with OhChimp. Find Batch API savings, unused prompt caching, and overspent frontier models, verified on your real invoice.
How does OhChimp connect to OpenAI?
With a read-only organization Admin API key (sk-admin-...). OhChimp verifies the key by listing your organization projects, then reads the Usage API and Costs API to find waste. It never stores application data, secrets, prompts, or completion contents.
Does OhChimp need write access or see my prompts?
No. The Admin API key is read-only for usage and billing. OhChimp reads token counts per model and billed spend by line item. It never reads or stores your prompts, completions, secrets, or workload contents.
What OpenAI costs can OhChimp actually reduce?
Synchronous spend the Batch API bills at a 50% discount, prompt caching that sits unused on high-input models, frontier-tier models running work a cheaper tier could handle, and per-model spend you can rank to focus the effort. It also reconciles the token estimate against the Costs API so non-completion charges (images, audio, fine-tuning, tools) are caught.
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.
How are OpenAI savings verified, and what does it cost?
Against your real OpenAI 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.
