How to cache LangFlow LLM calls with Crowkis

Add a semantic cache to LangFlow so repeated and reworded questions are served for free, no rewrite, self-hosted.

Your users ask the same things all day, phrased a hundred different ways. If you build with LangFlow, most of that repetition is invisible in your code but very visible on your bill. A semantic cache in front of your model calls fixes it.

The lowest-friction path is the OpenAI-compatible gateway: point LangFlow's base URL at Crowkis and every model call flows through a semantic cache. Repeated and reworded prompts are served from cache with no upstream call; new ones pass through and get cached.

LangFlow + Crowkis gateway
# point LangFlow at the Crowkis gateway
base_url = "http://127.0.0.1:6380/v1"   # semantic cache in front of your provider
In plain words: You don't restructure your LangFlow app. You change where the calls go, and repeats stop costing money.

On repetitive workloads this cuts LLM costs up to 60-70% on repetitive workloads, and every hit comes back with a confidence score so reuse stays safe. It's one self-hosted binary, Redis-compatible, free to run.
