Shift your focus from inference costs to cache validation logic
◆ 85RelevanceOn a story from The New Stack17h ago
If your product handles repetitive queries, your margins depend on your ability to bypass the LLM entirely. The real engineering challenge isn't the storage, but building the logic to determine when a cached response is still accurate.

- Redundant inference kills margins; prioritize semantic caching for common queries.
- Focus engineering effort on validation logic rather than simple key-value lookups.
- Use caching to improve both user latency and unit economics.
