A new technique called semantic caching can significantly reduce token costs for large language models by storing and reusing responses to prompts that convey similar meanings. Unlike traditional exact-match caching, semantic caching uses embeddings and cosine similarity to identify paraphrased or near-duplicate requests, ensuring that repetitive queries do not incur unnecessary token expenses. This method involves embedding prompts, storing these embeddings alongside their responses, and retrieving a stored answer when a new prompt's embedding is sufficiently close to a stored one, offering a more efficient approach for token-limited services.
