## Caption

Companies are burning through their entire yearly token budgets in a single month.
One of the possible solution to save the cost is context caching. When one parameter changing can dropped it to 80-90%. Here's the data from 19 scenarios I analyzed across 4 production Qwen models.

In this video, I show you exactly how to stop wasting tokens, walk through the Alibaba Cloud pricing page, run the analysis tool, and reveal the exact code change that solves this problem.
