Strategi Caching untuk Prompt

Mengapa Hasil Prompt Perlu Di-cache?

Peng-cache-an Pencocokan Tepat dengan Kunci Hash

import hashlib
import json
from functools import lru_cache

class ExactMatchCache:
    def __init__(self, backend=None):
        # backend: a dict (in-memory) or Redis client
        self.store = backend or {}

    def _key(self, messages, model, max_tokens):
        content = json.dumps({'messages': messages, 'model': model,
                               'max_tokens': max_tokens}, sort_keys=True)
        return 'llm:' + hashlib.sha256(content.encode()).hexdigest()

    def get(self, messages, model, max_tokens):
        key = self._key(messages, model, max_tokens)
        return self.store.get(key)

    def set(self, messages, model, max_tokens, result, ttl_seconds=3600):
        key = self._key(messages, model, max_tokens)
        self.store[key] = result
        # In Redis: self.store.setex(key, ttl_seconds, json.dumps(result))

cache = ExactMatchCache()

# Usage
messages = [{'role': 'user', 'content': 'What is the capital of France?'}]
cached = cache.get(messages, 'gpt-4o-mini', 100)
if cached:
    print('Cache HIT:', cached[:50])
else:
    print('Cache MISS — calling API...')

Klien LLM dengan Pembungkus Cache

import openai
from typing import Optional

client = openai.OpenAI(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY')
cache = ExactMatchCache()

def cached_completion(messages, model='gpt-4o-mini', max_tokens=500,
                       temperature=0.0, use_cache=True) -> str:
    if use_cache and temperature == 0.0:
        # Only cache deterministic requests (temperature=0)
        cached = cache.get(messages, model, max_tokens)
        if cached:
            return cached

    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        model=model,
        messages=messages,
        max_tokens=max_tokens,
        temperature=temperature
    )
    result = response.choices[0].message.content

    if use_cache and temperature == 0.0:
        cache.set(messages, model, max_tokens, result)

    return result

# Important: only cache temperature=0 responses
# Non-deterministic responses (temp>0) may return stale results
print('Cache wrapping: only deterministic (temp=0) calls are cached.')

Peng-cache-an Semantik dengan Embedding

import numpy as np
from sklearn.metrics.pairwise import cosine_similarity

class SemanticCache:
    def __init__(self, similarity_threshold=0.95):
        self.entries = []  # [(embedding, query, result)]
        self.threshold = similarity_threshold

    def embed(self, text):
        '''Get embedding for text using OpenAI embeddings API.'''
        response = client.embeddings.create(
            model='text-embedding-3-small',
            input=text
        )
        return np.array(response.data[0].embedding)

    def get(self, query):
        if not self.entries:
            return None
        query_emb = self.embed(query)
        for emb, stored_query, result in self.entries:
            sim = cosine_similarity([query_emb], [emb])[0][0]
            if sim >= self.threshold:
                print(f'Semantic cache HIT (similarity={sim:.3f}): {stored_query[:40]}...')
                return result
        return None

    def set(self, query, result):
        emb = self.embed(query)
        self.entries.append((emb, query, result))

sem_cache = SemanticCache(similarity_threshold=0.95)
print('Semantic cache ready. Threshold: 0.95 cosine similarity.')

Pustaka GPTCache

# pip install gptcache
# GPTCache integration example

# from gptcache import cache
# from gptcache.adapter import openai
# from gptcache.embedding import Onnx
# from gptcache.manager import CacheBase, VectorBase, get_data_manager
# from gptcache.similarity_evaluation.distance import SearchDistanceEvaluation

# Initialize GPTCache
# onnx = Onnx()
# data_manager = get_data_manager(
#     CacheBase('sqlite'),
#     VectorBase('faiss', dimension=onnx.dimension)
# )
# cache.init(
#     embedding_func=onnx.to_embeddings,
#     data_manager=data_manager,
#     similarity_evaluation=SearchDistanceEvaluation(),
# )

# After init, use openai from gptcache.adapter instead of standard openai
# response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
#     model='gpt-4o-mini',
#     messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content': 'What is Python?'}]
# )
# Same API, but cache is checked first

print('GPTCache: drop-in semantic cache for OpenAI API calls.')
print('Supports: FAISS, Redis, SQLite, Milvus as vector backends.')

Peng-cache-an Prompt Anthropic (Native)

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY')

LONG_SYSTEM_PROMPT = '''You are an expert financial analyst with 20 years of experience.
''' + 'Domain knowledge: ' + 'analysis context...' * 500  # large system prompt

# Enable prompt caching with cache_control
response = client.messages.create(
    model='claude-opus-4-5',
    max_tokens=1024,
    system=[
        {
            'type': 'text',
            'text': LONG_SYSTEM_PROMPT,
            'cache_control': {'type': 'ephemeral'}  # cache this prefix
        }
    ],
    messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Analyze Q3 2024 earnings.'}]
)

print('Cache write tokens:', response.usage.cache_creation_input_tokens)
print('Cache read tokens: ', response.usage.cache_read_input_tokens)
print('Regular input tokens:', response.usage.input_tokens)
# On cache HIT: cache_read_input_tokens shows the cached tokens
# Cost: cached tokens charged at 10% of normal rate

TTL Cache dan Strategi Penghapusan

import time
from collections import OrderedDict

class TTLCache:
    def __init__(self, max_size=1000, default_ttl=3600):
        self.store = OrderedDict()  # key: (value, expire_at)
        self.max_size = max_size
        self.default_ttl = default_ttl

    def set(self, key, value, ttl=None):
        ttl = ttl or self.default_ttl
        expire_at = time.time() + ttl
        if key in self.store:
            del self.store[key]
        self.store[key] = (value, expire_at)
        # LRU eviction: remove oldest if over capacity
        if len(self.store) > self.max_size:
            self.store.popitem(last=False)

    def get(self, key):

        self.store.move_to_end(key)
        return value

# TTL strategy guidelines
ttl_guidelines = {
    'Static knowledge': 86400,  # 24h (facts, definitions)
    'Semi-static': 3600,        # 1h (product info, FAQs)
    'Dynamic content': 300,     # 5min (news, prices)
    'Personalized': 0           # no cache (user-specific)
}
for k, v in ttl_guidelines.items():
    print(f'{k}: {v}s TTL')

Pola Invalidasi Cache

class InvalidationAwareCache(TTLCache):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.tags = {}  # key: set of tags
        self.tag_index = {}  # tag: set of keys

    def set_with_tags(self, key, value, tags, ttl=None):
        self.set(key, value, ttl)
        self.tags[key] = set(tags)
        for tag in tags:
            self.tag_index.setdefault(tag, set()).add(key)

    def invalidate_by_tag(self, tag):
        keys_to_delete = self.tag_index.pop(tag, set())
        for key in keys_to_delete:
            self.store.pop(key, None)
            self.tags.pop(key, None)
        print(f'Invalidated {len(keys_to_delete)} entries with tag={tag}')

# Usage: tag cache entries by data source
cache = InvalidationAwareCache()
cache.set_with_tags('product_faq_123', 'Product FAQs...', tags=['product:123', 'faqs'])
cache.set_with_tags('product_spec_123', 'Spec sheet...', tags=['product:123', 'specs'])

# When product 123 is updated, invalidate all its cache entries
cache.invalidate_by_tag('product:123')  # Invalidated 2 entries

Mengukur Kinerja Cache

        }

metrics = CacheMetrics()
