Yeah, what is being stored that is available between inferences?

  Nothing, if by "inference" you mean single API call. The underlying algorithm starts (very roughly) by processing the prompt into a set of vectors, which are then used repeatedly to generate tokens one after the other. What's meant here is that the act of generating and using those prompt vectors has an effect sort of like regular training. It doesn't mean anything is being written to disk afterwards, though of course you could write those vectors to disk and re-use them. It just doesn't make much sense at the moment. Doing that isn't enough to give you infinite context windows.
