Qdrant谈语义缓存:相似问题直接复用答案省API调用

Why we picked it

Qdrant这篇讲怎么用语义缓存省API调用,相似问题直接回旧答案,不用每次检索生成,适合做聊天机器人的参考。

当用户反复询问退款政策这类同一问题时,每次请求都会触发一次完整的API往返。Qdrant指出,关键词缓存只能处理精确匹配,换一种问法就失效。

语义缓存会把已问过的问题和对应答案存起来,新查询先做语义相似度匹配。相似度超过阈值就直接返回缓存答案,不再走检索和生成流程。

详细做法可参考qdrant.tech上的指南。

You know you are hitting the API and making round trips again and again when a user asks the same question, like "what's the refund policy?" or "what are the conditions of a refund?" You might not have a cache layer built in, or if you do it's probably keyword-based, which only works on exact matches. In that case semantic cache can be useful. What semantic cache does is store previously asked questions along with their answers. When a new query comes in, it checks for semantic similarity against cached questions. If the similarity score is above a threshold, it returns the cached answer without going through retrieval and generation again. Same answer, no unnecessary API calls or retrieval round trips.
