+
+## Why next-semantic-cache?
+
+Every time a user asks *"What is the return policy?"* your app pays for a full GPT-4o call — even when you answered the same question 200 times yesterday. That is wasted money and wasted latency.
+
+`next-semantic-cache` sits **between your app and the LLM** as a Vercel AI SDK middleware. It:
+
+1. **Embeds** the incoming prompt using `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` — a 22 MB model that runs locally inside your serverless function. **Zero embedding API cost.**
+2. **Searches** your vector store for a semantically equivalent previous prompt (cosine similarity ≥ threshold).
+3. **Returns** the cached response in **~50 ms** if a match is found — no LLM call, no token spend.
+4. **Saves** every new LLM response asynchronously for future cache hits — without adding latency to the current request.
+
+The result: **identical answers are served instantly, and you only pay the LLM for genuinely novel questions.**
+
+---
+
+## How it works
+
+```
+Incoming prompt
+      │
+      ▼
+┌─────────────────────────────┐
+│  transformParams()          │  ← embed prompt locally (all-MiniLM-L6-v2)
+│  vector search in Redis     │  ← cosine similarity ≥ threshold?
+└────────────┬────────────────┘
+             │
+      ┌──────┴──────┐
+      │ HIT (~50ms) │  NO LLM call. Return cached string immediately.
+      └─────────────┘
+             │
+      ┌──────┴──────┐
+      │ MISS        │  Call real LLM → stream response to user
+      └──────┬──────┘
+             │
+    ┌─────────────────┐
+    │ fire-and-forget │  save(vector, response) → Redis, with optional TTL
+    └─────────────────┘
+```
+
+> **Key insight:** Embeddings are computed with `@huggingface/transformers` using quantised ONNX weights loaded **once per cold start** as a singleton. Warm requests pay ~2–5 ms for the embedding step — everything else is a Redis RTT.
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install next-semantic-cache @upstash/redis uuid ai
+npm install -D @types/uuid
+```
+
+Set your Upstash credentials in `.env.local`:
+
+```bash
+UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL=https://your-db.upstash.io
+UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN=your-token-here
+```
+
+> **Upstash requirement:** Your Redis database must have **RediSearch / Redis Stack** enabled. All new Upstash databases have this by default. For self-hosted Redis, use `redis-stack` or load the `redisearch` module.
+
+---
+
+## Quick start
+
+```ts
+import { withSemanticCache, RedisVectorAdapter } from "next-semantic-cache";
+import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
+
+const adapter = new RedisVectorAdapter({
+  redisUrl:   process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL!,
+  redisToken: process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN!,
+  ttlSeconds: 86_400, // cache entries expire after 24 hours
+});
+
+// Wrap your model once. Use it everywhere.
+export const cachedModel = withSemanticCache(openai("gpt-4o"), {
+  adapter,
+  threshold: 0.92, // cosine similarity — tune to taste
+});
+```
+
+That's it. Pass `cachedModel` to `streamText`, `generateText`, or `generateObject` exactly as you would with the unwrapped model.
+
+---
+
+## Next.js Edge function example
+
+```ts
+// app/api/chat/route.ts
+import { withSemanticCache, RedisVectorAdapter } from "next-semantic-cache";
+import { openai }     from "@ai-sdk/openai";
+import { streamText } from "ai";
+
+export const runtime = "edge"; // ← works in Edge runtime
+
+// ── Build adapter & cached model outside the handler ─────────────────────
+// On warm lambdas this is reused across requests. The embedding model
+// singleton is loaded once and stays in memory between invocations.
+const adapter = new RedisVectorAdapter({
+  redisUrl:            process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL!,
+  redisToken:          process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN!,
+  ttlSeconds:          60 * 60 * 24 * 7, // 7-day TTL — FAQ answers stay fresh
+  connectionTimeoutMs: 1_500,            // fail fast; fall back to LLM
+});
+
+const cachedModel = withSemanticCache(openai("gpt-4o"), {
+  adapter,
+  threshold: 0.92,
+  debug:     process.env.NODE_ENV === "development",
+});
+
+// ── Edge handler ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+export async function POST(req: Request) {
+  const { messages } = await req.json();
+
+  // Drop-in replacement — the API is identical to the unwrapped model.
+  const result = streamText({
+    model:    cachedModel,
+    messages,
+    system:   "You are a helpful customer support assistant.",
+  });
+
+  return result.toDataStreamResponse();
+}
+```
+
+A cache hit response includes `providerMetadata.semanticCache.hit = true` so you can log it or expose it in your analytics:
+
+```ts
+const result = await generateText({ model: cachedModel, prompt });
+
+if (result.experimental_providerMetadata?.semanticCache?.hit) {
+  console.log("Served from cache — 0 tokens billed.");
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## API reference
+
+### `withSemanticCache(model, options)`
+
+The primary entry point. Returns the wrapped model — fully compatible with all Vercel AI SDK functions.
+
+```ts
+function withSemanticCache<M extends LanguageModelV1>(
+  model:   M,
+  options: SemanticCacheOptions
+): LanguageModelV1
+```
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `adapter` | `VectorStoreAdapter` | **required** | Storage backend. Use the built-in `RedisVectorAdapter` or bring your own. |
+| `threshold` | `number` | `0.92` | Cosine similarity cutoff in `[0, 1]`. Higher = stricter matching. |
+| `debug` | `boolean` | `false` | Log cache hits/misses to `console.debug`. |
+
+---
+
+### `RedisVectorAdapter`
+
+Built-in adapter for Upstash Redis (and any Redis Stack instance).
+
+```ts
+const adapter = new RedisVectorAdapter(options);
+```
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `redisUrl` | `string` | — | Upstash REST endpoint URL. |
+| `redisToken` | `string` | — | Upstash REST API token. |
+| `client` | `Redis` | — | Pass an existing `@upstash/redis` client instead of `url` + `token`. |
+| `ttlSeconds` | `number` | `0` (no expiry) | Seconds until a cache entry is automatically deleted by Redis. |
+| `connectionTimeoutMs` | `number` | `2000` | Max ms to wait for Redis before treating the call as failed and falling back to the LLM. |
+
+```ts
+// Flush all cache entries (testing / manual invalidation)
+const deleted = await adapter.flush();
+console.log(`Removed ${deleted} entries from the semantic cache.`);
+```
+
+---
+
+### `VectorStoreAdapter` interface
+
+Bring your own storage backend by implementing two methods:
+
+```ts
+export interface VectorStoreAdapter {
+  /**
+   * Return the cached response string if a similar prompt exists,
+   * or null if no match exceeds the threshold.
+   */
+  search(vector: number[], threshold: number): Promise<string | null>;
+
+  /**
+   * Persist the prompt embedding alongside its LLM response.
+   */
+  save(promptVector: number[], response: string): Promise<void>;
+}
+```
+
+#### Example — in-memory adapter (for unit testing)
+
+```ts
+import type { VectorStoreAdapter } from "next-semantic-cache";
+
+class InMemoryAdapter implements VectorStoreAdapter {
+  private store: Array<{ vector: number[]; response: string }> = [];
+
+  private cosineSimilarity(a: number[], b: number[]): number {
+    const dot = a.reduce((sum, v, i) => sum + v * b[i], 0);
+    const magA = Math.sqrt(a.reduce((s, v) => s + v * v, 0));
+    const magB = Math.sqrt(b.reduce((s, v) => s + v * v, 0));
+    return dot / (magA * magB);
+  }
+
+  async search(vector: number[], threshold: number) {
+    for (const entry of this.store) {
+      if (this.cosineSimilarity(vector, entry.vector) >= threshold) {
+        return entry.response;
+      }
+    }
+    return null;
+  }
+
+  async save(promptVector: number[], response: string) {
+    this.store.push({ vector: promptVector, response });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Architecture notes
+
+### Singleton embedding model
+
+`@huggingface/transformers` loads `Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2` (quantised q8 ONNX, ~23 MB) **once per process**. The pipeline instance is held in a module-level variable and reused on every subsequent request. Cold-start cost: ~400–800 ms. Warm embedding cost: ~2–5 ms.
+
+### Middleware interception flow
+
+The middleware implements two hooks from the Vercel AI SDK's `LanguageModelV1Middleware` spec:
+
+- **`transformParams`** — runs synchronously *before* the LLM call. Embeds the prompt and attaches a `__semanticCacheHit` sentinel to `providerMetadata` on a hit.
+- **`wrapGenerate`** — reads the sentinel. If present, returns the cached result and **never calls `doGenerate()`**. On a miss it calls `doGenerate()` and fire-and-forgets the `save()`.
+
+### Failure isolation
+
+If Redis is unreachable or times out:
+- `search()` returns `null` → the middleware calls the real LLM transparently.
+- `save()` logs the error and returns — the LLM response has already been streamed to the user.
+
+**Redis failures are completely invisible to your users.**
+
+---
+
+## Threshold tuning guide
+
+| Threshold | Behaviour | Use-case |
+|---|---|---|
+| **0.98** | Near-identical phrasing only | Deduplicate exact retries |
+| **0.92** *(default)* | Catches paraphrases & minor rewording | General-purpose FAQ / support bots |
+| **0.88** | Broad semantic matching | High-traffic apps where some imprecision is acceptable |
+| **0.80** | Very aggressive | Only for tightly constrained, single-domain prompts |
+
+---
+
+## FAQ
+
+**Does it work in the Vercel Edge Runtime?**
+Yes. `@huggingface/transformers` with ONNX backend runs in Edge (V8 isolate) environments. The `@upstash/redis` client uses the REST API so there are no raw TCP sockets.
+
+**Can I use a different LLM — Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, etc.?**
+Yes. `withSemanticCache` accepts any `LanguageModelV1`-compatible model. Swap `openai(...)` for `anthropic(...)`, `google(...)`, or any community provider.
+
+**Does it support streaming?**
+Cache misses stream normally via the underlying model. Cache hits return a non-streaming synthetic result — the text is complete and the SDK delivers it as a resolved promise. To surface hits as streams, extend `buildCachedGenerateResult` to use `wrapStream` instead.
+
+**Does it work with `generateObject` / structured output?**
+The middleware hooks into `wrapGenerate`, which also underlies `generateObject`. Cached responses are raw text; if your object-generation prompt is highly templated and structurally identical across calls, hits will work correctly. For variable schema inputs, raise `threshold` to ≥ 0.97.
+
+**Will it slow down my first request on a cold start?**
+The embedding model loads in ~400–800 ms on the first invocation. Vercel pre-warms functions in production, reducing the impact. You can also explicitly warm the pipeline by calling `getEmbeddingPipeline()` from a `warmup` route.
