# Cache

> Learn how Latitude uses caching to optimize your prompt executions

Latitude implements a caching system for prompt responses to optimize performance and reduce costs. This guide explains how caching works and when it's applied.

## How Caching Works

When you execute a prompt, Latitude automatically caches the response if certain conditions are met. The cache key is generated based on:

* The workspace ID
* The prompt configuration
* The conversation context

This means that identical prompts with the same parameters in the same workspace will return cached results.

## Cache Conditions

Caching is only applied when:

* The temperature is set to 0 or not specified
* The prompt execution is successful

This is because non-zero temperatures introduce randomness in the responses, making caching less useful as each execution is intended to be unique.

## Benefits

Caching provides several advantages:

* **Reduced Costs**: Cached responses don't consume additional API tokens
* **Faster Response Times**: Cached results are returned immediately
* **Consistency**: Identical prompts always return the same response

## Cache Duration

Currently, cached responses are stored indefinitely. However, you can force a fresh execution by:

* Modifying any part of the prompt configuration
* Changing the conversation context
* Using a non-zero temperature
