In 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.

VerifiedThe KV Cache mechanism can cache repeated prefix content, and the more concise the system prompt, the higher the cache hit rate.75% 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% similarUnverifiedThe Transformer's causal attention mechanism dictates that each token's KV is related only to all the tokens before it, so prompts with completely identical prefixes generate completely identical KV that can be reused directly.71% similarUnverifiedThe 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.71% similarUnverifiedA prefix-shared trajectory tree allows the KV cache and attention computation of the forward pass to be reused on the shared prefix, reducing VRAM and compute overhead under long contexts.70% similar
