From 4da846638cdce70fa9e7dd36fb38ffef9f812a7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fury03 Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 17:44:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf: serve streamed answers from the two-tier response cache (#1) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit POST /chat/stream never touched the response cache: it neither read from it nor wrote to it, so every repeat question on the streaming path paid a full provider round-trip even when /chat had the answer in memory. The streaming endpoint now uses the same two tiers, the same cache_scope and the same key as /chat. An identical prompt is answered by the exact tier ahead of any embedding; a reworded one falls through to the semantic tier. A hit replays the stored answer as ordinary SSE content deltas with no model call, and a successful stream writes back to both tiers with the token count used for savings tracking. X-Cache-Tier and X-Semantic-Cache report which path served the turn, X-Cache-Bypass forces a generation, and the done event carries "cached". Eligibility is now one predicate shared by both endpoints, so they cannot drift into caching different things, and it closes three gaps: - language and madhhab reshape the answer while leaving the prompt untouched, and the key comes from the prompt alone, so an Arabic or Hanafi-led answer could replay for the same question asked without either. Folding them into the embedded text would not help — two strings differing by a short prefix sit far inside the threshold — so a request carrying either stays out of the cache until there is a variant-keyed store. - new-chat detection came from active_chats, which is empty after a restart and on every other worker, so a resumed conversation looked new and could be answered from cache. The session store now decides, on both endpoints, and its history is reused when seeding the session. - the streaming lookup ran before the input gate, so a prompt the gate would refuse could be served from cache if an allowed phrasing had landed inside the threshold. The gate now runs first and only a plain allow may touch the cache; the generator reuses that decision. Both hit paths build history from the caller's own session rather than the stored copy — a match only has to clear the similarity threshold, so the stored wording can be an earlier asker's — and replay the stored confidence block, so the response shape does not depend on which branch served the turn. Also: cache embedding moved off the event loop, the duplicated history-rendering loop became one function, and the benchmark restores GEMINI_API_KEY as well as SAFETY_PIPELINE_ENABLED. Measured with scripts/bench_stream_cache.py, which serves the real app under uvicorn and drives the route over HTTP against a stub provider streaming four 0.4s chunks: TTFB (ms) total (ms) uncached 408.73 1625.43 cached 9.23 12.24 That is 99.2% off the total and 97.7% off time-to-first-text, against the 50% the issue asks for. The script exits non-zero below --min-reduction (default 50%), and CI runs it, so a regression fails the build. 23 tests drive the real route: both tiers, bypass, cross-endpoint reuse, follow-up context, replayed confidence, and the cases that must never replay — a variant request, a resumed conversation, a refused prompt, and one user's answer reaching another. --- .env.example | 8 + .github/workflows/ci.yml | 7 + Makefile | 2 +- README.md | 35 +- docs/latency.md | 172 ++++++++++ main.py | 416 ++++++++++++++++++++---- scripts/bench_stream_cache.py | 302 ++++++++++++++++++ semantic_cache.py | 11 +- tests/test_stream_cache.py | 582 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 1475 insertions(+), 60 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/latency.md create mode 100644 scripts/bench_stream_cache.py create mode 100644 tests/test_stream_cache.py diff --git a/.env.example b/.env.example index 25b4341..d6b0e57 100644 --- a/.env.example +++ b/.env.example @@ -65,6 +65,14 @@ GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here # that keeps local dev and CI offline.
