ChainOpt: the LLM pipeline cost detective
A Python SDK and CLI that inspects LLM agent pipelines for redundant calls, oversized models, and steps that could run in parallel.
Field notes
The homepage separates ChainOpt from tracing and model-routing tools: tracing records calls and totals bills, while routing swaps models, whereas ChainOpt examines the pipeline’s structure. Its displayed support-triage example covers seven call sites across six steps and attaches prompts and responses to three suggested changes. The figures are explicitly illustrative, not measured results, and the product is currently presented as a private beta accepting tester requests.
