LM Studio and other inference servers based on llama.cpp skip the prefix portion of the prompt that is identical to the previous one, using KV Cache reuse to avoid redundant computation.

UnverifiedIn inference engines such as vLLM, prefix cache requires the prompt prefix to be byte-for-byte identical to reuse the KV cache, and any insertion, modification, or timestamp difference invalidates the entire cache after that point.68% 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.65% similarUnverifiedKV Cache avoids redundant computation during autoregressive inference by caching the K and V values of historical tokens, so that new tokens only need to compute their own Q.65% similarVerifiedThe KV Cache mechanism can cache repeated prefix content, and the more concise the system prompt, the higher the cache hit rate.64% similarUnverifiedLLMs' lack of cross-session memory makes it difficult to maintain consistency in code generated across multiple iterative rounds, which can be partially compensated for through Memory Bank structured Markdown files63% similar
