Better prompt caching for GPT-6
GPT-6's prompt caching cuts latency and costs with explicit breakpoints and new diagnostics.
Why it matters
A practical efficiency win for developers running repeated workflows on GPT-6: higher cache hit rates and cost controls reduce per-request overhead, making agentic and batch use cases cheaper to operate.
