## Tips and Notes

- **Optimizations**: Requesty offers range of in-flight cost optimizations to lower your costs.
- **Unified and simplified billing**: Unrestricted access to all providers and models, automatic balance top ups and more via a single [API key](https://app.requesty.ai/manage-api).
- **Cost tracking**: Track cost per model, coding language, changed file, and more via the [Cost dashboard](https://app.requesty.ai/cost-management) or the [Requesty VS.code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Requesty.requesty).
- **Stats and logs**: See your [coding stats dashboard](https://app.requesty.ai/usage-stats) or go through your [LLM interaction logs](https://app.requesty.ai/logs).
- **Fallback policies**: Keep your LLM working for you with fallback policies when providers are down.

- **Prompt Caching:** Some providers support prompt caching. [Search models with caching](https://app.requesty.ai/router/list).
