In the world of large language models (LLMs), optimizing performance isn’t just a luxury — it’s a necessity. As the demand for faster responses and cost-effective AI solutions grows, caching strategies have emerged as powerful tools to streamline LLM operations.

This article dives into the different types of caching techniques — ranging from rapid in-memory methods to persistent disk-based approaches and the more sophisticated semantic caching. Discover how each method not only accelerates response times but also minimizes costs, and learn how to leverage these techniques for a smarter, more efficient LLM deployment.

You can continue reading here even without a paid Medium account.

What is caching?

  1. Store and reuse responses.
  2. Improve response time.
  3. Reduce cost.

Types of Caching

  1. In-memory caching.
  2. Disk-based caching.
