|---|---|---|---|
| medium | api/server/controllers/agents/openai.js:1039 | LLM call inside a loop Per-item calls repeat the full prompt prefix for every element. If items are independent and latency-tolerant, the provider Batch API is 50% cheaper, and OpenAI Flex processing (`service_tier: "flex"`) gives the same 50% on ordinary calls without restructuring; if the prefix is shared, caching pays off immediately. Fix: Batch where possible, or set `service_tier: "flex"` on OpenAI calls that can wait; otherwise keep the shared prefix cache-formatted (TokenZero does this automatically). | 25% |

Keys pass through untouched. Cache formatting and exact caching are on by default; cascade routing stays opt-in. How it works
