75% Cheaper Cache Reads: Why Long-Running Agent Costs Now Depend on Prefix Stability

Anthropic's Fable 5.1 reduces cache read pricing from $1 to $0.25 per million tokens, shifting long-running agent cost bottlenecks from output to repeated stable prefix reads, making prefix stability, cache breakpoint placement, TTL tuning, and hit-rate observability critical architectural levers for cost control.

Why Compression Isn’t Truncation: Hermes’s Structured Summaries Keep Prefix Cache Hits

The article explains how Hermes Agent avoids the pitfalls of naive sliding‑window truncation—such as orphaned tool calls and broken KV‑cache—by using a three‑segment protection scheme, cheap tool‑result pre‑pruning, and a structured, reference‑only summary that dramatically reduces tokens while preserving and even improving prefix cache hit rates.
