On-device deployment often comes with mechanisms such as KV cache quantization (e.g., compressing to 4 or 8 bits), grouped-query attention (GQA), and sliding-window or sparse attention.

UnverifiedFP8 KV cache is a quantization technique that compresses the Key-Value cache in the attention mechanism from FP16 or BF16 to 8 bits, which can halve the GPU memory usage of the KV cache79% similarUnverifiedKV Cache memory usage is proportional to the number of layers × number of attention heads × context length × precision; GQA reduces cache size by having multiple query heads share the same set of Key-Value heads, and this design has been adopted by the Llama 2/3 and Qwen series.78% similarVerifiedThe KV Cache (Key-Value Cache) strategy stores already-computed attention key-value pairs in GPU memory for reuse, which consumes a large amount of GPU memory resources.78% similarUnverifiedGQA groups attention heads to share KV projections, which can compress the KV cache to 1/4 or less of the original size with almost no loss in model quality.76% 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.76% similar
