From prototype to production AI: architecture, cost & security

Vibe coding gets you a demo. This two-session track with Vince Loremia shows you how to rebuild it into a cost-optimized, hardened system, using the same framework that cut his agency’s monthly AI API spend by over 90%.

// Why this masterclass

Prototypes are cheap. Production bills aren’t.

Prototyping an AI application with “vibe coding” tools is fast, but taking it to production reveals harsh realities: skyrocketing API bills, unhandled latency bottlenecks, and brittle pipelines.

In this 2-session masterclass track, veteran technopreneur and software agency founder Vince Loremia breaks down how to deconstruct fragile prototypes and rebuild them into cost-optimized, high-efficiency architectures, bringing costs on key production projects down to a sub-$50 monthly budget without sacrificing speed, reliability, or security.

Vince’s production AI spend
$1,500 <$50

per month, using semantic caching, small-model & local routing, prompt compression, and efficient orchestration. You’ll see the full stack in AI 201.

90%+ API cost reduction
// Session flow

Two live mornings. Here’s exactly what happens.

Each session runs 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM Philippine Time (GMT+8) on Zoom, with live Q&A throughout. Email your questions ahead of time to hello@geeksonabeach.com and get them answered on the call.

  1. AI 201Wed, Oct 7 · 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM PHT

    Cost-Optimized System Architecture

    • The “vibe coding” trapWhere rapid AI-assisted development breaks down once real users and real traffic arrive.
    • The sub-$50 unit economics stackHow Vince cut monthly AI API spend by over 90%: semantic caching, small language model (SLM) & local routing, prompt compression, and efficient orchestration.
    • Model selection strategyWhen to use heavy LLMs vs. fine-tuned open-source models, edge runtimes, or hybrid architectures.
    • Live demoAuditing a brittle AI prototype on the call and restructuring its data flow for cost and execution speed.
  2. AI 202Wed, Oct 14 · 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM PHT

    Production Hardening, Latency Optimization & Scale

    • Security & guardrailsHardening systems against prompt injection, data leakage, and unauthorized API exposure.
    • State management & determinismGraceful fallbacks, rate-limit handling, non-deterministic output control, and strict schema validation.
    • ObservabilityPractical distributed tracing, latency monitoring, and token-cost auditing per user.
