Caching
Saving previously computed data or responses so they can be reused quickly.
Example
Frequently reused model results are cached instead of recomputed.
Why it matters
It reduces repeated processing and can make common requests faster.
You'll hear it
“That quick answer came from a saved result.”
Can you control it?

Common questions
- Can caching return outdated information?
- Yes. A saved result can outlive the facts or settings it depended on.
- Does a cache always contain every earlier result?
- No. Size limits and expiry rules can remove entries.
- Can caching create privacy problems?
- Yes. Poor separation can expose one user's saved information to another.
