Semantic Caching with Redis 8.6: Vector Similarity Matching for LLM Cost Optimization in Production

Semantic caching operates above the model layer, using vector embeddings to match similar queries to previously computed responses. With Redis 8.6, you can achieve 80 percent or higher cache hit rates without calling the LLM at all. This part covers the full architecture, similarity thresholds, cache invalidation, and production implementations in both Node.js and Python.
