A persistent key-value cache using content-hash addressing, designed for tool-augmented LLMs. Deduplicates identical tool call results across sessions, reducing redundant API calls and latency. Supports TTL-based expiry and pluggable storage backends.

What's novel

Tool-augmented LLMs repeatedly call the same tools with identical inputs across conversations, wasting tokens and API quota. ContextCache solves this with content-addressed storage — the same input always maps to the same cache key regardless of session. This is a purpose-built caching layer for agentic workflows, not a generic Redis wrapper.

Code Analysis

4 files read · 2 rounds

A high-performance agentic router that uses a small local LLM with a NoPE (No Positional Embedding) architecture and disk-based KV caching to route tool calls in under 200ms without positional bias errors.

Strengths

Innovative use of NoPE architecture to solve positional embedding issues in multi-tool routing; highly optimized performance via SHA-256 content-addressed disk caching for instant warm starts; clean separation between routing logic and synthesis LLM.

Weaknesses

Limited test coverage (mostly integration tests, no unit tests for core router logic); error handling relies on generic exceptions without detailed logging or recovery strategies; dependency on external GGUF model files which complicates deployment.
