Prompt caching, a technique to reduce large language model (LLM) costs, has been released by Anthropic, joining OpenAI and Google in offering this feature. This architectural change involves storing LLM outputs in a separate, smaller lookup table keyed by a stable identifier, rather than within the main dataset. This approach significantly reduces storage needs and processing costs by only storing unique inputs and their corresponding enrichments, making it feasible to wipe and reload large datasets without losing valuable cached results.
