xAI	—	Automatic caching with NO published activation threshold and NO guaranteed TTL (entries may be evicted anytime — the least-documented major platform). Read discount ~75-85% provisional. Cache is per-server: always set the x-grok-conv-id header (or prompt_cache_key on the Responses API) for routing affinity, and keep conversations append-only.
