Why cache AI prompts?
Caching AI prompts means saving previous interactions or parts of a conversation so the AI doesn't have to process them from scratch every time. Anthropic's new models make reading this cached context much cheaper. This is particularly useful for 'agentic tasks' where the AI repeatedly refers back to earlier information, making the overall process more efficient and affordable.
