Anthropic 프롬프트 캐싱 — 30분 만에 입력 비용을 90% 절감하기

# What most people start with: every call re-pays for the whole prompt.

# 10 user questions in a session. Every call sends the 18K-token system block.

# Cost per call (input only): 18,000 × $3 / 1M = $0.054
# 10 calls: $0.54 in input alone.

# The fix: mark the static prefix as cacheable. After the first call,
# subsequent calls within ~5 minutes pay 10% the input rate on the cached
# portion. Same answer, 89% cheaper.

# First call (cache write):  18,000 × $3.75 / 1M = $0.0675  (1.25× input)
# Calls 2–10 (cache hit):    18,000 × $0.30 / 1M = $0.0054 each
# Total: $0.0675 + 9 × $0.0054 = $0.116  (was $0.54 — 78.5% saved)

# A common gotcha: putting today's date or a request_id in the system prompt
