CACHE ALCHEMY

How much of the gross volume was served from prompt cache instead of fresh computation.

11.54B cache-read + 0 cache-write of 12.13B gross. Reasoning tokens tracked separately: 6.1M (never double-counted).

Honesty clause: cache reads are re-served context, priced and computed differently from fresh tokens. This site never equates cache tokens with billable tokens — that is why fresh volume is always shown alongside gross. Formulas on methodology.

DAILY TELEMETRY

Per-UTC-day aggregates for Herman, window ending 2026-07-30. Usage is attributed to the day its accounting row was last updated — see limitations.
