alt Hacker NewsThe cache is on Antropics server, its like a freeze frame of the LLM inner workings at the time. the LLM can pick up directly from this save state. as you can guess this save state has bits of the underlying model, their secret sauce. so it cannot be saved locally...
Maybe they could let users store an encrypted copy of the cache? Since the users wouldn't have Anthropic's keys, it wouldn't leak any information about the model (beyond perhaps its number of parameters judging by the size).
