The only considerable issue with Claude Code is it's price 😅

Math isn't mathing, but sounds like youre not using prompt caching etc?

How do you use prompt caching with claude code?

@chad-fossa it's enabled by default
DISABLE_PROMPT_CACHING=0 to have it enabled and 1 to disable
aws bedrock has it in preview

Got it, thank you

Er, sorry not quite. Prompt caching is enabled by default, and you can opt out with DISABLE_PROMPT_CACHING=0. We do not recommend that because Code will become suuuper slow.

Claude Code is expensive, and may get more expensive. We also want to make it very capable, to make the cost worth it. We know that isn't for everyone!

Sounds like cost management is out of scope LOL

Interesting, so the cost is in red or even. An increase of capability and decrease of inference cost is what we hope so.

Price increase -> Capability increase -> Price decrease

We could apparently be saving 14% on those tokens
