Tirith – Track your AI API spend with one CLI import (github.com)

Tirith has launched a new command-line interface (CLI) tool that enables developers to track their AI API spending through a straightforward proxy system. By simply adding one import line to their applications, users can log every API call—including cost, tokens used, latency, and custom tags—without changing their existing code structure. The installation is streamlined via a binary install process compatible with various stacks, supporting API providers like Anthropic and OpenAI. This tool is significant for the AI/ML community, as it addresses the growing need for cost transparency and management amidst increasing API usage. Tirith allows developers to attribute API usage and expenses to specific features, users, or environments through tags, facilitating better budget management and optimization of AI resources. Notably, while Tirith captures essential metadata, it ensures that prompts and responses remain unlogged for privacy, with data stored locally in an SQLite database. This combination of functionality and security makes Tirith a valuable asset for teams seeking efficient financial oversight in their AI deployments.
