How it works: Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all let you cache stable prompt prefixes (system messages, RAG context, few-shot examples). Cached reads cost ~10% of normal input tokens. Cache TTL: Claude 5 min default (configurable), OpenAI/Gemini 1 hour. The fix: keep your stable prefix at the START of every call.
