Prefix caching skips redundant computation by reusing previously computed KV cache for identical prefixes from prior requests, but any formatting change, order perturbation, or insertion of content in the middle will invalidate the cache.

UnverifiedPrefix caching is extremely sensitive to input stability; as long as any single token in the prefix is modified or inserted, the cache is invalidated and all subsequent content must be recomputed.77% similarUnverifiedIn the cache reuse mechanism, once the request prefix is modified, the cache for all content after it becomes invalid; modifying tools or other parts of the request will still affect reuse.75% similarUnverifiedThe location where the model edits the file in CLM affects prefix cache reuse: edits at the end of the file allow most of the cache to be reused, while editing from the middle causes content after that point to lose cache, increasing latency and cost.66% similarUnverifiedv2.1.269 fixes an issue where the prompt cache was partially invalidated when a response was truncated upon hitting the output token limit and then automatically continued.65% similar
