What is Prompt Caching? | IBM
Prompt caching is a straightforward method to improve the speed and cost efficiency of LLMs. It accomplishes this by storing frequently unchanged parts of a prompt such as instructional content or reference material considerations so the model doesn’t have to reprocess those tokens repeatedly.
What is Prompt Caching? | IBM What is Prompt Caching? Author Shalini Harkar Lead AI Advocate Large language models (LLMs) are incredibly powerful, but they come with two major challenges cost and latency. Every token processed incurs a charge, and when users repeatedly query the same context, like a large document, they drive up costs by triggering redundant computations. Also, the latency associated with processing these requests can degrade the responsiveness of your application, leading to a subpar user experience [1] . Prompt caching emerges as a key solution to address these challenges. I
