Enabling the MTP draft head introduces additional attention layer KV requirements, reducing the token capacity available for the KV cache from 767,317 to 592,164, a decrease of about 23%.

VerifiedMLA compresses the KV Cache into low-dimensional latent vectors via low-rank decomposition, with d_latent approximately 1/8 of d_model, reducing KV Cache VRAM usage to 5%–13% of traditional multi-head attention.71% similarUnverifiedThe quantized MLX KV cache reduces prompt memory usage by up to 74% compared to before.71% similarVerifiedThe VRAM consumption of the KV cache is proportional to context length, number of model layers, and number of attention heads; under an 8K context, a typical 27B model may consume an additional 2–4 GB of VRAM.68% similarUnverifiedPagedAttention cuts the KV Cache into fixed-size blocks, allocated on demand and stored non-contiguously, raising VRAM utilization from the traditional 20%–40% to over 90%.67% similarUnverifiedWhen model weights and KV Cache cannot be fully loaded into GPU VRAM and some data must be offloaded to main memory, inference speed drops by one to two orders of magnitude.67% similar
