Summary
Melvin Vivas shares OpenAI's announcement of better prompt caching for GPT-6. He expects GPT-6 Sol and Luna to use up rate and usage limits more slowly than GPT-5.6, because cached prompt prefixes cost less to reuse.
Key points
- OpenAI announced improved prompt caching for GPT-6 models (Sol and Luna).
- The creator expects GPT-6 Sol/Luna to be easier on usage limits than GPT-5.6 because of this.
- Prompt caching reuses an already-processed prompt prefix, which cuts the cost and latency of repeated context.
- Keep the stable parts of a prompt (system prompt, tool definitions, documents) at the start so they can be cached.
