Semantic Caching vs. Prompt Caching: Measuring the Break-Even Point on Real Traffic

A developer's analysis of LLM API costs argues that the issue is architectural, not prompt engineering, and presents real-traffic measurements comparing semantic caching and prompt caching. The study finds that prompt caching's break-even depends on traffic burst patterns due to TTL, while semantic caching offers savings for repeated queries. The developer reports that prompt optimization alone fails to address structural cost drivers such as repeated system prompts and document contexts.
