Test

Make a test call and check the GateCtr dashboard for token savings and cost data.

What GateCtr does under the hood for OpenAI Python SDK

When you route OpenAI Python SDK calls through GateCtr, every request is automatically compressed (up to 40% fewer tokens), scored for complexity (to select the optimal model), and checked against your budget cap before reaching the LLM provider. You get full observability — tokens, cost, latency — in the GateCtr dashboard.
