+++ Turns out reasoning benchmarks reward actual reasoning tools over statistical pattern matching. The AI industry's obsession with pure scaling just met its match in a system that, gasp, thinks about thinking. +++
+++ Sam Altman's careful positioning lets OpenAI ink a defense deal while publicly drawing lines at domestic surveillance, a move that satisfies nobody but solves the immediate Anthropic problem. +++

💬 "Google also works with Department of Defense"

Researchers finally noticed this waste and built caching systems that slash redundant computation by 29x, proving sometimes the best innovations solve problems practitioners have been quietly fuming about. +++
"If you've used multi-agent setups with LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, or Swarm, you've probably noticed: every agent re-tokenizes and re-processes the full conversation from scratch.

"We present ContextCache, a persistent KV cache system for tool-calling LLMs that eliminates redundant prefill computation for tool schema tokens.
Motivation: In tool-augmented LLM deployments, tool schemas (JSON function definitions) are prepended to every request but rarely change between calls."
