Title

RAG Context Caching

Description

Long content processing increases energy consumption, context caching can significantly improve the efficiency of indexing by reducing redundant retrievals. Systems such as CacheBlend, MPIC, RAGCache, and TurboRAG are available to incorporate caching into your RAG-Based Systems.

Participant

AI and RAG Practitioners.

Software feature

Adaptive Contextual Caching. CacheBlend. MPIC. RAGCache. TurboRAG.

Tactic intent

Environmentally Sustainable RAG and through energy efficiency and reduction of computational waste.

Target quality attribute

Energy Efficiency.
