Save 80% on AI Costs: My Experience Switching to Global API

Save 80% on AI Costs: My Experience Switching to Global API

I was paying $400/month on OpenAI. Here's how I cut that to $79/month...

The Problem

Running an AI-powered SaaS with 10,000 monthly active users meant expensive API bills.

The Solution

Switched to Global API for DeepSeek V3.2 and R1 models. The OpenAI-compatible SDK meant zero code changes.

Results

  • API costs: $400 → $79/month
  • Latency: Improved (US-West optimized endpoints)
  • Model quality: Comparable for my use cases
