Prompt Caching Is Widely Available
A major cost-saving feature for all customers. When you send repeated prompt prefixes — system instructions, few-shot examples, large context blocks — the platform caches them and serves subsequent requests at a fraction of the cost. Cache read tokens are priced well below standard input tokens.- Studio — The Usage page now breaks spend down by cache segment (fresh, cache read, cache write), so you can see exactly what caching is saving you. Model cards show cache pricing alongside standard rates.
- Programmatic access — Cache token counts and pricing are now reported programmatically, so savings can be calculated automatically.
- Docs — A new Prompt Caching guide covers how caching works across Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Gemini, with code examples and a supported-models matrix.
GlooCode v1.6 — Web UI & More
Four GlooCode releases shipped this week (v1.5.3 → v1.6.2), a significant milestone for the product.- Web UI — GlooCode now includes a built-in web interface with 30+ themes, file diffing, session management, and support for 18 languages.
