Gateway compatibility: OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs for compatible clients, tools, and gateways
Prefix caching: Automatic prefix caching runs on every replica, and requests from the same session or conversation are routed back to the replica that holds their cached prefix. A stable session hint or prompt_cache_key provides explicit grouping; otherwise RunInfra derives it from the start of the conversation or, failing that, the workspace. Hits remain best effort until eviction or a serve restart, never guaranteed. Cached input is billed at the cached input rate. Responses report cached token counts.
Cache retention: Prefix cache is held on the serving GPU and evicted under memory pressure. Retention is best effort.
Upstream model: View model
