Semantic Cache Vs Context Window?
5.5BRAINROT SCORESEMANTIC CACHE— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE
Semantic Cache A cache that stores AI responses keyed by meaning rather than exact text, so a differently worded but equivalent question can still hit a cached answer instead of triggering a fresh, costly model call.
EXAMPLE USAGE
"Three differently worded versions of the same question all hit the same semantic cache entry instead of re-running the model."
CONTEXT WINDOW— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE
Context Window The maximum amount of text or tokens a language model can hold in its immediate working memory during a single interaction, functioning as the model's short-term memory limit.
EXAMPLE USAGE
"The conversation got cut off because my whole codebase filled up the context window."
