    Developer calls for prompt caching in Jevons-style AI models●Please add prompt caching to Jev-style models https://emschwartz.me/please-add-prompt-caching-to-jev-style-models/ # SofMmastodonTechnologySoftware21 d ago

    Software engineer Evan Schwartz has published a blog post urging makers of Jev-style AI models — lightweight open models whose efficiency drives heavier overall usage, echoing the Jevons paradox — to add prompt caching. Caching previously processed prompts would cut redundant computation, lower latency and reduce serving costs. The post is being shared among AI and open-source engineering communities, where efficiency and inference costs are active topics of debate.
