SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

ClawCache Free helps developers automatically track every penny spent on LLM API calls and cache responses to dramatically reduce costs, with per‑call token counting, daily reports, and multi‑provider support.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic cost logging with per‑call token counting across multiple providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Ollama)
  • Daily CLI reports showing spending, savings, and cache efficiency
  • Exact‑match caching using SQLite with composite keys (model + prompts + parameters) for high hit rates
  • Security and reliability features: pickle opt‑in, SQLite WAL mode, cross‑platform file locking
  • Real‑world use cases: Code Review, Data Analysis, Content Generation, QA Support

Quick Start

Install clawcache and wrap your LLM call with monitor_cost or async_monitor_cost to start tracking costs and caching.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track LLM API costs and token usage in Python?

Yes, ClawCache Free supports multi-provider cost tracking for OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and Ollama. You can monitor per-call token counting and generate daily CLI reports showing spending and cache savings across all these providers simultaneously.

How do I cache LLM responses in Python to reduce API spending?

ClawCache Free uses SQLite with composite keys combining the model, prompts, and parameters for exact-match caching. It features WAL mode and cross-platform file locking to ensure cache security and reliability during concurrent Python application operations.

Can I use ClawCache Free for token counting with local models like Ollama?

Yes, ClawCache Free supports token counting and cost tracking for local models using Ollama. It automatically logs per-call token usage and generates daily CLI reports showing both spending and cache efficiency for local LLM infrastructure.

What is the best way to generate daily LLM spending reports in Python?

ClawCache Free requires pickle to be explicitly enabled as an opt-in feature. This security measure ensures safe caching operations, while SQLite WAL mode and cross-platform file locking handle concurrent access without risking data integrity.

Does ClawCache Free work with both sync and async Python LLM calls?

Yes, ClawCache Free works with both synchronous and asynchronous Python LLM calls. You simply wrap your LLM call with monitor_cost or async_monitor_cost to automatically start tracking costs and caching responses across your supported providers.
