•Amazon Web Services has introduced Cachee, an in-process cache engine achieving consistent 31-nanosecond read times for post-quantum cryptographic keys.
•Built in Rust, Cachee handles data ranging from 64-byte tokens to 49KB SLH-DSA signatures and even 1MB video posters, overcoming network latency issues of traditional caches.
•This innovation is critical as post-quantum keys like ML-KEM-1024 are 10-100 times larger than current ECDH keys, posing significant performance challenges.
•Anthropic silently reduced the cache Time-To-Live (TTL) for an unspecified API from 1 hour to 5 minutes around early March 2026.
•This change was not officially announced, leading to unexpected 'quota and cost inflation' for users relying on previous caching behavior.
•Developers and teams using Anthropic services should review their API usage patterns and billing statements from early March onwards to detect potential impacts.
