Rovo dev CLI - cache?

[Wiktor Jarka]

I thought having 20M tokens will be a lot, but I’m able to burn through it in 2 hours working on a relatively small and not complex project.

Is it utilizing Claude cache at all? Comparing my usage to Claude Code stats - I feel like it’s not caching tokens at all which turns out pretty bad in a longer sessions - especially when Rovo doesn’t one shot the implementation and adjustments are needed.

Hey @Wiktor Jarka 

Thank you for raising this question; it's actually something we've been actively investigating.

Your experience of burning through 20M tokens quickly is consistent with our internal findings. In side-by-side comparisons, Rovo Dev CLI currently uses more tokens than Claude Code CLI for similar tasks. 

At this time, Rovo Dev CLI does not leverage Claude's built-in cache as aggressively as Claude Code CLI does. 

Improving caching and token efficiency is a known priority for the team, and enhancements are expected in future releases.

Your feedback is definitely helping us with prioritising improvements to make Rovo Dev CLI more efficient for our users!

Kindest regards,

Jov
