Read the explanation

In the modern AI stack, incoming user queries combine base instructions with vector retrieval chunks to assemble a dense input context. Prompt caching intercepts raw token streams. A higher hit rate discounts cached input tokens by fifty percent, radically lowering total query cost. Increasing agent tool-call recursion steps multiplies inference cycles. Each step compounds latency and generation tokens through recursive feedback arcs.
