Introduction Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized how organizations process and generate natural language content, but their operational costs can become significant at scale. One of the most effective techniques for reducing these costs is context caching, which allows reuse of static prompt components across multiple requests. This article examines how the three major AI providers—Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), and OpenAI—implement context caching, with detailed analysis of their technical approaches, pricing structures, and practical limitations. The Technical Fundamentals of Context Caching When interacting...

LangGraph is a framework designed for building and managing complex AI workflows using a graph-based approach. This article provides a comprehensive guide to its core components, implementation patterns, and best practices. Key Highlights: LangGraph Studio: A powerful IDE for real-time visualization, debugging, and monitoring of graph executions. Features include graph visualization, hot reloading, and interactive debugging. Graph Components: LangGraph workflows consist of nodes (processing units), edges (connections defining flow), and state (persistent context). Types of Nodes: Includes LLM nodes (leveraging AI models), agent nodes...
