Can Cache‑Augmented Generation Outperform RAG? A Deep Dive into LLM Efficiency

Cache‑augmented generation (CAG) preloads documents into LLM context using KV caches to eliminate retrieval latency, offering faster inference for static knowledge bases, while RAG remains more flexible for dynamic or large corpora; this article compares their definitions, performance, implementation steps, and future prospects.
