OpenAI’s new prompt caching slashes input costs by 50%. Maximize savings with these pro-tips:

- **Hit the Threshold:** Ensure static prefixes exceed 1,024 tokens to trigger discounts.
- **Standardize Inputs:** Use deterministic hashing for multi-modal payloads to prevent cache misses.
- **Monitor Telemetry:** Track hit rates to eliminate structural drift.

Optimize your architecture today. Stop burning compute—start caching smarter.
