See references/langcache-usage.md for full SDK + REST samples and attribute-based storage.
The threshold controls how close (in embedding cosine distance) a new prompt must be to a cached one to count as a hit. Higher = stricter match, fewer false positives. Lower = more hits, more risk of returning an off-topic answer.
| Threshold | Behavior | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| 0.95+ | Near-exact match required | Customer-facing answers where wrong responses are costly |
| 0.9 | Balanced default | Most workloads — start here |
| 0.8 | Loose semantic match | Internal tools, exploratory queries, FAQ deduplication |
# Stricter — fewer false positives
result = lang_cache.search(prompt="What is Redis?", similarity_threshold=0.95)
# Looser — higher hit rate
result = lang_cache.search(prompt="What is Redis?", similarity_threshold=0.8)
Adjust by watching the actual cache-hit rate and spot-checking that returned answers are still relevant.
See references/best-practices.md.
Different LLM workloads should not share one cache — a "code question" prompt is semantically close to other code questions but has nothing to do with a password-reset support query, and crossing them returns garbage.
support_cache = LangCache(server_url=..., cache_id="support-cache-id", api_key=...)
code_cache = LangCache(server_url=..., cache_id="code-cache-id", api_key=...)
Create distinct cache IDs in Redis Cloud per task, and route each call to the right one. As a finer-grained alternative, store and search with custom attributes (e.g. {"category": "database"}) to keep tasks in the same cache but isolated by attribute filter — useful when the same prompt format spans subtopics.

# Redis Semantic Cache
Semantic caching for LLM responses with Redis Cloud's LangCache service. Stores prompts as embeddings; subsequent semantically-similar prompts return the cached response without re-calling the model.
> LangCache is currently in **preview** on Redis Cloud. Features and behavior may change.
## When to apply
- Wrapping an LLM call (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) with a cache layer to cut cost and latency.
- Caching RAG answers, classification outputs, or any deterministic LLM workload.
- Tuning the precision/hit-rate trade-off for a semantic cache.
- Splitting one application's LLM workloads across multiple cache instances.
## 1. The cache-aside flow
LangCache fits in front of any LLM call as a standard cache-aside pattern:
1. Send the user's prompt to LangCache's `search`.
2. **Cache hit** — return the stored response directly.
3. **Cache miss** — call the LLM, then `set` the response so future similar prompts hit.
```python
from langcache import LangCache
import os
lang_cache = LangCache(
server_url=f"https://{os.getenv('HOST')}",
cache_id=os.getenv("CACHE_ID"),
api_key=os.getenv("API_KEY"),
)
result = lang_cache.search(prompt="What is Redis?", similarity_threshold=0.9)
if result:
response = result[0]["response"]
else:
response = llm.generate("What is Redis?")
lang_cache.set(prompt="What is Redis?", response=response)
```
The same operations are available via REST (`POST /v1/caches/{cacheId}/entries/search` and `POST /v1/caches/{cacheId}/entries`) when an SDK isn't an option.
See [references/langcache-usage.md](references/langcache-usage.md) for full SDK + REST samples and attribute-based storage.
## 2. Tune the similarity threshold
The threshold controls how close (in embedding cosine distance) a new prompt must be to a cached one to count as a hit. Higher = stricter match, fewer false positives. Lower = more hits, more risk of returning an off-topic answer.
| Threshold | Behavior | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| 0.95+ | Near-exact match required | Customer-facing answers where wrong responses are costly |
| 0.9 | Balanced default | Most workloads — start here |
| 0.8 | Loose semantic match | Internal tools, exploratory queries, FAQ deduplication |
```python
# Stricter — fewer false positives
result = lang_cache.search(prompt="What is Redis?", similarity_threshold=0.95)
# Looser — higher hit rate
result = lang_cache.search(prompt="What is Redis?", similarity_threshold=0.8)
```
Adjust by watching the actual cache-hit rate and spot-checking that returned answers are still relevant.
See [references/best-practices.md](references/best-practices.md).
## 3. Separate caches per task type
Different LLM workloads should not share one cache — a "code question" prompt is semantically close to other code questions but has nothing to do with a password-reset support query, and crossing them returns garbage.
```python
support_cache = LangCache(server_url=..., cache_id="support-cache-id", api_key=...)
code_cache = LangCache(server_url=..., cache_id="code-cache-id", api_key=...)
```
Create distinct cache IDs in Redis Cloud per task, and route each call to the right one. As a finer-grained alternative, store and search with **custom attributes** (e.g. `{"category": "database"}`) to keep tasks in the same cache but isolated by attribute filter — useful when the same prompt format spans subtopics.
