Prompt caching technology stores KV matrices in high-speed memory, and when the next request contains the same prefix content, it reads directly from the cache, skipping recomputation.

VerifiedThe KV Cache mechanism can cache repeated prefix content, and the more concise the system prompt, the higher the cache hit rate.80% similarPartially VerifiedIn Anthropic's API billing system, prompt caching allows a stable prefix to be marked as cached content, and subsequent identical prefixes directly reuse the KV without recomputing attention, with these tokens recorded as "cache reads".76% similarUnverifiedThe KV Cache mechanism reduces token costs in long-context, high-frequency-call scenarios by reusing already-computed intermediate results to avoid re-executing forward inference on the same text.76% similarVerifiedPrefix caching improves inference efficiency by caching common prompt prefixes to reduce redundant computation.74% similarUnverifiedThe prefill phase performs one forward computation over the entire input to produce KV caches for all positions, and is compute-bound; the decode phase generates tokens autoregressively one by one and is memory-bandwidth-bound.74% similar
