EchoCache

Stop paying twice for identical LLM queries

What it does

Ultra-low latency semantic caching layer for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and open-source LLMs. Reduce API bills by 80% and accelerate responses to <30ms.

Ultra-low latency semantic caching layer for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and open-source LLMs. Reduce AI API bills by up to 80% and accelerate responses to <10ms using int8 scalar quantized vector similarity search.

EchoCache intercepts your LLM calls, maps prompt semantics in a local vector space, and returns cached responses in under 10ms . Save 80% on API costs without blocking runtime execution. Traditional exact-match caches fail on LLMs due to slight wording adjustments. EchoCache maps inputs into vector spaces to capture semantic equivalence. Compresses vector dimensions using 8-bit scalar quantization. Fits 4x more items inside local cache indexes, minimizing memory usage with zero latency degradation. Sentence embeddings calculate cosine distance to match prompts even when syntax is completely rephrased. Fine-tune confidence requirements (e.g. 0.92) per endpoint to balance accuracy vs. cache…from echocache.vercel.app

    Hey folks, As much as we love GPT-4, it's expensive and can be slow at times. That's why we built GPTCache - a semantic cache for autoregressive LMs - atop the vector database Milvus and SQLite. GPTCache provides several benefits: 1) reduced expenses due to minimizing the number of requests and tokens sent to the LLM service 2) enhanced performance by fetching cached query results directly 3) improved scalability and availability by avoiding rate limits, and 4) a flexible development environment that allows developers to verify their application's features without connecting to LLM APIs or…

    While building a chat application I couldn't find find a free and opensource tool to store user sessions. This led to redcache-ai. The tool helps with semantic search, Retrieval Augmented Generation(RAG) and storage. This is an early version undergoing rapid iteration. Happy to answer questions and hear feedback.

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes&#x2F;sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens&#x2F;sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens&#x2F;sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
