Understanding LLM Context Caching
Standard calculators simply multiply tokens by the base price. However, modern foundational models (like Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o) now utilize Prompt Caching. If you are sending the same system instructions, large documents, or RAG context repeatedly, the API provider “caches” those tokens.
Cached tokens are typically billed at a massive discount (often 50% off the base input price). By factoring in your expected cache hit rate, this engine reveals your true optimized infrastructure cost, allowing you to build much larger context windows efficiently.
