Report #70749

[frontier] Repeated similar queries burn LLM tokens and increase latency unnecessarily

Implement semantic caching using embedding similarity \(cosine > 0.95\) to store and retrieve LLM responses, bypassing the model entirely on cache hits

Journey Context:
Traditional caching requires exact string matches, missing paraphrased questions. By embedding the query and checking against a vector cache of previous queries \(with temperature=0 for cache storage\), agents can serve identical semantic intent instantly. This requires storing embeddings of queries and responses, with TTL for time-sensitive data, cutting costs by 30-70% for FAQ-style interactions.
