Just Cache It (Part 1): Maintaining Context with APIs and LLMs

It has become easier to create AI applications due to the ease of integration by using APIs. High cost is one challenge when frequent API calls are made to LLMs with similar content to add context. Prompt caching, or context caching, creates a cache to solve this challenge. AI engineers must use prompt caching to decrease inference fees and reduce latency.
