Study guide & lesson outline
LEARNING CONTRACTUnderstand → implement → investigate
Goal: explain the mechanism in this lesson, reproduce one example and test a failure case. Reading alone does not mark mastery.
- Understand: state assumptions, shapes/units and a counterexample.
- Implement: reproduce a numerical example and inspect boundaries.
- Investigate: compare one alternative under a matched budget.

Exact-key LRU simulation. TTL starts on insertion and does not refresh on hits. Expired entries are removed before each request. Assumes stable outputs within TTL. A real cache key should include tenant, model/version, prompt and generation settings; this lab uses letters.

hit rate=hits/requests; cost=misses×costPerMiss; mean latency=(hits×hitMs+misses×missMs)/requests
Cross-tenant key reuse can expose private data; stale cached answers may be incorrect.

Abrir laboratorio →cache-5 / 07Is “All unique requests” a benchmark of a deployed language model?
No. Exact-key LRU simulation. TTL starts on insertion and does not refresh on hits. Expired entries are removed before each request. Assumes stable outputs within TTL. A real cache key should include tenant, model/version, prompt and generation settings; this lab uses letters.

Abrir laboratorio →cache-5 / 08Which evidence should you report for “All unique requests”?
Inspect hit/miss trace, eviction order, cost and mean latency. Export inputs, engine, result and method; distinguish synthetic fixtures from observed production data.

Abrir laboratorio →cache-5 / 09How can another researcher reproduce “All unique requests”?
Open cache-5, reset the preset, retain the exact inputs and run. The calculation is deterministic for identical inputs.

Abrir laboratorio →cache-5 / 10What is the next validation step after “All unique requests”?
Cross-tenant key reuse can expose private data; stale cached answers may be incorrect. Test the hypothesis on a representative held-out workload and document a baseline, success metric and stopping rule before claiming deployment readiness.

Abrir laboratorio →Assumptions, implementation & acceptance
TTL starts at insertion and is not refreshed on a hit. LRU order does refresh. Request keys share one synthetic namespace; production keys must include model, parameters and authorization scope.
Engine formulas, scenario presets and numerical safeguards reviewed. Seeded synthetic inputs are not a production benchmark.
Before running: predict a boundary case
Unique keys provide no exact-match cache savings.
Hint: isolate the assumption
Keep the baseline input fixed, change one parameter or boundary, and compare both the numerical result and the claimed units. A passing example verifies this fixture only.
Minimal executable example
Save the example and linked modules in one folder. Use Node.js 22 or newer, then run node cache-5.mjs. No third-party runtime dependencies.
import {calculate,network} from './academy-core.mjs';
const params={
"keys": "A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H",
"capacity": 3,
"ttl": 60,
"interval": 1,
"cost": 0.01,
"missMs": 1000,
"hitMs": 10
};
const result=calculate('cache',params);
console.log(result.metrics);Test and transfer
Unique keys provide no exact-match cache savings.
Record input, code version, expected result and observed result in the notebook below. Then construct a counterexample that violates the assumption above and explain why the original conclusion no longer follows.
