This article was created as part of the Global Devoteam AI Upskilling Program<\/a>, where employees share their knowledge to accelerate their learning. The program’s key objective is to provide a foundation in AI for every employee and apply these new skills in our work. Do you want to work with us? Check out our career opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if your AI<\/a> could remember, adapt, and respond faster\u2014not by fetching from Google, but from itself? Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed how we interact with machines\u2014but they come with a cost. Literally. Every prompt sent to an LLM requires fresh computation, often repeating work it has already done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter Cache-Augmented Generation (CAG)<\/strong>\u2014a rising approach that helps AI models remember, reuse, and respond faster<\/strong> by leveraging cached knowledge. Unlike RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), which pulls data from external sources, CAG taps into internal caches of previously generated content or embeddings<\/strong>, offering a low-latency, memory-efficient alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we\u2019ll break down what CAG is, how it compares to RAG, why it matters for AI agents and assistants, and how you can start using it to supercharge your LLM applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
