⭐ Semantic Cache for Large Language Models
Blog post from Portkey
As industries increase their use of large language models (LLMs), the associated costs and performance challenges become more pronounced, especially when applications handle millions of queries monthly. Semantic caching emerges as a viable solution, reducing costs and latency by caching responses based on the contextual similarity of input requests rather than exact matches. This approach, as implemented by Portkey, can achieve a cache hit rate of 20% with 99% accuracy, significantly enhancing the efficiency of query processing in high-traffic scenarios such as customer support and enterprise search. By leveraging semantic similarity, organizations can minimize unnecessary LLM calls, thus lowering costs and improving response times. Portkey's system employs OpenAI embeddings and Pinecone's vector search to process queries, providing a reliable caching mechanism that maintains high accuracy and security through encryption. The implementation of semantic caching supports diverse applications and reduces dependency on specific model providers, offering a unified approach to managing repeated queries across heterogeneous environments.
