38+
39+ ** 💰 50% Cost Savings with Batch API** - Process non-urgent tasks asynchronously:
40+
41+ ``` bash
42+ empathy batch submit batch_requests.json # Submit batch job
43+ empathy batch status msgbatch_abc123 # Check progress
44+ empathy batch results msgbatch_abc123 output.json # Download results
45+ ```
46+
47+ Perfect for: log analysis, report generation, bulk classification, test generation

54+
55+ ** 📈 Cache Performance Monitoring** - Track your 20-30% caching savings:
56+
57+ ``` bash
58+ empathy cache stats # Show hit rates and cost savings
59+ empathy cache stats --verbose # Detailed token metrics
60+ empathy cache stats --format json # Machine-readable output
61+ ```
62+
63+ ** 🧭 Adaptive Routing Analytics** - Intelligent tier recommendations:
64+
65+ ``` bash
66+ empathy routing stats < workflow> # Performance metrics
67+ empathy routing check --all # Tier upgrade recommendations
68+ empathy routing models --provider anthropic # Compare models
69+ ```
70+
71+ ** 🔧 Dashboard Fixes** - All 6 agent coordination patterns now operational:
