Content Quality Tips

  • Temperature matters: Use 0.7-0.9 for creative content, 0.3-0.5 for factual content.
  • System prompts are powerful: Specify tone, audience, word count, and formatting requirements.
  • Iterate with cheaper models: Draft with DeepSeek ($0.34/M), polish with Claude ($4.50/M).
  • Batch processing saves money: Generate 10 variations in one call instead of 10 separate calls.
