This tool acts as a local reverse proxy to keep the prompt cache warm, preventing costly re-encodings that occur when sessions go idle for too long. By automatically replaying the last request at intervals, claude-thermos ensures the cache remains active, reducing expenses by an estimated 22% of the total bill. AI
