Anthropic has released Prompt caching in Claude, which lets you fine-tune model responses with more instructive prompts

Anthropic has introduced prompt caching for their Claude AI, allowing developers to cache frequently used context between API calls to reduce costs and latency. This feature is particularly useful for conversational agents, coding assistants, large document processing, and incorporating extensive knowledge bases or instructions.

Prompt caching can reduce costs by up to 90% and latency by up to 85% for long prompts.
Cached prompts are priced based on the number of input tokens cached and usage frequency, with writing to the cache costing 25% more than the base input token price and using cached content costing only 10% of the base price.
Notion, a customer spotlight, is using prompt caching for their AI assistant to optimize internal operations and create a more responsive user experience.
