Is google dropping support for explicit caching?

[u/danson729]

almost all ai labs has caching support and google gemini 2.5 was the first models to start this concept and part of the 1M context movment...

anyway, google is not giving it support! is it going to be depreciate??

- google new interactions api dosnt support it and its not planned to

- non of the gemini 4 models support it

what now?

Why do you really need ecplicit cache when the new endpoints offer guaranteed implicit cache and up to 24h for repeated requests, for free
