What is the best LLM API to use?

For general use: OpenAI (GPT-4o) for broadest capabilities, Anthropic (Claude) for long-context and coding, Google (Gemini) for multimodal. For enterprise: Amazon Bedrock gives access to multiple providers. Choice depends on your specific use case, budget, and compliance needs.

How do LLM API costs compare?

GPT-4o: ~$2.50/M input tokens. Claude Sonnet: ~$3/M input. Gemini Pro: ~$1.25/M input. All offer cheaper mini/flash variants for simple tasks. Costs have dropped 90%+ since 2023 and continue falling.

Should I use one LLM or multiple?

Production apps benefit from multi-model strategies: primary model for quality, fallback for reliability, cheap model for simple tasks. Amazon Bedrock and LiteLLM make multi-model routing easy. Start with one, add others as you scale.

What is the context window and why does it matter?

Context window is the maximum text an LLM can process at once. GPT-4o supports 128K tokens, Claude supports 200K tokens. Larger context enables processing long documents, codebases, and maintaining conversation history. Choose based on your content length needs.

How do I handle LLM API rate limits?

Implement exponential backoff for retries, use request queuing, cache common responses, and batch requests when possible. Most providers offer tier upgrades for higher limits. Consider using multiple API keys or providers for critical applications.

Are LLM APIs secure for sensitive data?

Major providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) offer enterprise tiers with data privacy guarantees—your data is not used for training. For maximum security, use private deployments (Azure OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock) or self-hosted open source models.

What is function calling in LLM APIs?

Function calling lets LLMs generate structured JSON to invoke external tools like databases, APIs, or calculators. Define available functions, and the model decides when and how to call them. Essential for building AI agents and automated workflows.
