Cut your LLM API bill with semantic caching to reduce repeated queries

intermediate Published 15 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Build a semantic caching layer using Voyage AI embeddings and Supabase's pgvector extension
  2. Intercept near-duplicate queries before they hit the LLM
  3. Implement a caching mechanism to store and retrieve query results
  4. Optimize the caching layer for performance and accuracy
  5. Monitor and adjust the caching layer as needed
Who Needs to Know This

Developers and engineers working with LLMs and RAG can benefit from this technique to optimize costs and improve performance
