+<summary><b>💡 Optional: Cost Tracking with Callbacks (Python)</b></summary>
+
+Track costs, tokens, and cascade decisions with LangChain-compatible callbacks:
+
+```python
+from cascadeflow.integrations.langchain.langchain_callbacks import get_cascade_callback
+
+# Track costs similar to get_openai_callback()
+with get_cascade_callback() as cb:
+    response = await cascade.ainvoke("What is Python?")
+
+    print(f"Total cost: ${cb.total_cost:.6f}")
+    print(f"Drafter cost: ${cb.drafter_cost:.6f}")
+    print(f"Verifier cost: ${cb.verifier_cost:.6f}")
+    print(f"Total tokens: {cb.total_tokens}")
+    print(f"Successful requests: {cb.successful_requests}")
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- 🎯 Compatible with `get_openai_callback()` pattern
+- 💰 Separate drafter/verifier cost tracking
+- 📊 Token usage (including streaming)
+- 🔄 Works with LangSmith tracing
+- ⚡ Near-zero overhead

+**Full example:** See [langchain_cost_tracking.py](./examples/langchain_cost_tracking.py)
