What Is Semantic Cache?
5.5BRAINROT SCORESemantic 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.
Origin:Borrows standard software-caching terminology and applies 'semantic' (meaning-based) matching once teams needed to cache AI responses despite queries rarely being worded identically twice.
