Common OpenAI API Challenges We Solve
Designing effective prompts for consistent results
Managing API costs at scale
Handling rate limits and latency
Ensuring output quality and safety
Choosing between models (GPT-4 vs GPT-3.5 vs fine-tuning)
Implementing proper error handling and fallbacks
Building evaluation frameworks for AI outputs
Staying current with rapidly evolving AI landscape
OpenAI API Best Practices
Start with prompt engineering before fine-tuning
Implement proper cost monitoring and alerts
Use streaming for better user experience
Build comprehensive evaluation pipelines
Implement content moderation for outputs
Use function calling for structured outputs
Cache common responses where appropriate
Implement graceful degradation for failures
Complementary Technologies
Scaling Considerations
Implement request queuing, use appropriate model tiers, consider batching for non-real-time workloads, monitor and optimize token usage.
Security Considerations
Never expose API keys client-side, implement output filtering, monitor for prompt injection attacks, ensure PII handling compliance.
Performance Optimization
Use streaming responses, cache frequent queries, optimize prompts for token efficiency, use GPT-3.5 where GPT-4 isn't needed.
Success Story
Series A EdTech building AI tutor
Challenge
Needed to create personalized learning experiences at scale. Initial GPT integration was expensive and inconsistent.
Solution
Fractional CTO redesigned prompt architecture, implemented caching, built evaluation framework, optimized model selection per task.
Result
AI costs reduced 70% while improving output quality. Response consistency improved from 65% to 94%. User engagement increased 40%.
Timeline: 2 months
