As far as AI is concerned, it looks like you will need to pick 1?

I do think this question comes up a lot-- I can understand why.

For some well-explained reasons, check out https://darioamodei.com/essay/the-adolescence-of-technology and search for "CCP".

90%+ cache hit rate is common, and so you'll see on places like openrouter that Deepseek cache cost is indeed a magnitude cheaper than the rest.

Agreed on hoping books will be rewritten. It seems to be happening, but slowly. E.g., Harvard Machine Learning Systems: https://mlsysbook.ai/vol1/

Thank you! Not sure why it's so hard to find (still don't see where you got this from), esp if it's using exe.dev's platform.

Anybody have experience with https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom? They seem to have similar goals in token reduction, but headroom appears to be broader in scope.

That's fair. There are even many dimensions to define 'quality' which include use case (coding? writing? multimedia?) and prompt. I suppose if you ask testers to provide benchmarks with their analysis, that might hamper their desire to share.
