Claude Code v2.1.62 ·

Optimized prompt cache breakpoint placement

What

Cache breakpoints are now applied to the last two messages in a conversation instead of only the final message, potentially improving cache hit rates with the Anthropic API.

Details
  • Previously, only the very last message in a conversation received a cache breakpoint marker
  • Now the last two messages both receive cache breakpoints, increasing the likelihood of cache reuse when new messages are appended
  • The skipCacheWrite flag now only suppresses the breakpoint on the final message, leaving the second-to-last message always cached
  • This is an internal optimization; users may experience marginally faster response times due to improved cache utilization, but no action is required
Evidence

Cache breakpoint logic in message preparation (search for "tengu_api_cache_breakpoints") — K$z() at line ~519758

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
