Token Cache Checklist

Takeaway
The mental model

Reuse an identical prefix.
Compute only what changed.

Token cache hits turn repeated context from recurring prefill work into reusable model state.

Before shipping
✓ Stable prefix is first
✓ Serialization is deterministic
✓ Hit rate and TTFT are measured
✓ Cold-cache behavior is acceptable
✓ Isolation and retention are understood
Best fit: agents, RAG, long system prompts, tool-heavy assistants, and repeated multi-turn workflows.
