Sample Question

Your application sends the same 10,000-token system prompt with every request. Which technique best reduces latency and cost?

  • A. Compress the system prompt to under 1,000 tokens
  • B. Enable prompt caching so the system prompt is cached after the first request
  • C. Move system prompt content to user messages
  • D. Split the system prompt across multiple smaller requests
Explanation: Prompt caching stores the processed system prompt on Anthropic's infrastructure, significantly reducing latency and cost for subsequent requests. The other options change your application's behavior rather than leveraging the caching infrastructure.
