“One-line integration via proxy is genius. Change your base URL and instantly get logging, caching, and rate limiting.”
“The proxy approach means minimal code changes. Cost tracking alone pays for itself when you have multiple models.”
“As AI costs become a significant line item, observability and optimization tools like Helicone become essential.”
