Performance & Cost
Response Caching vs Fresh LLM Calls
When caching AI responses saves time and money, when a fresh model call is required, and how RSFlowHub handles repeated requests.
Cached Responses vs Fresh LLM Calls
Fresh LLM Calls
Every request goes to the model, producing a new result each time.
Strengths
- Always uses the latest context
- Variety for creative tasks
How caching works on RSFlowHub
For endpoints with caching enabled, RSFlowHub keys the cache on the endpoint, the normalised input and the model. A repeated identical request within the cache window is answered from cache. Most utility endpoints charge nothing for cache hits; some generation endpoints charge a discounted rate.
Good candidates for caching
- Intent detection and FAQ matching on common questions.
- Moderation of duplicated or reposted comments.
- Translation of repeated UI strings or product text.
Frequently asked questions
Can a cached answer be outdated?
Only within the cache window, and only for identical input. Tasks that depend on changing context should use endpoints without caching.
