The implementation logic of Prompt Caching is: hash-check the input prompt, match it against cached KV prefixes, and if there is a hit, skip the Transformer computation for that part and perform inference computation only on the suffix part.

VerifiedThe KV Cache mechanism can cache repeated prefix content, and the more concise the system prompt, the higher the cache hit rate.73% similarUnverifiedProcessing input can spread out computational costs through mechanisms such as KV Cache, whereas generating each output token requires a full forward inference pass.72% similarUnverifiedIn bidirectional attention models (such as BERT encoders), each token's representation is affected by the entire text, so prefix KV cannot be reused independently; therefore Prompt Caching mainly appears on generative large models rather than encoder models.71% similarUnverifiedThe Transformer architecture generates text in an autoregressive manner, outputting one token at a time and appending it to the input sequence to predict the next token, resulting in a serial inference process70% similarVerifiedConstrained Decoding computes the set of valid tokens at each token step of autoregressive generation based on a finite state machine or context-free grammar and renormalizes the probabilities, mathematically guaranteeing that the output conforms to the target schema.69% similar
