Builders ask how to attribute OpenAI/Anthropic LLM costs per feature in production
Two related Reddit posts ask how teams running LLMs in production track OpenAI/Anthropic costs beyond the providers’ aggregate dashboards—specifically, whether they attribute spend per endpoint/feature and how (custom logging vs third-party tools), and whether limited visibility has caused scaling problems.
