Large-model inference is a memory-bandwidth-intensive task: in the decode phase, all weights and the KV Cache must be re-read for each token generated, so the larger the batch size, the lower the marginal cost per token, but the higher the latency.

UnverifiedCompressing the number of layers that bear KV cache overhead to one quarter of the total layer count under ultra-long contexts can significantly reduce VRAM costs for long-context inference, and is an important direction in the architectural evolution of long-context models80% similarUnverified上下文越长，模型需要缓存的 KV Cache 越大，KV Cache 使模型生成新 Token 时无需重新计算所有历史 Token 的注意力权重79% similarVerifiedKV Cache stores the Key and Value matrices of all previous tokens during the Decode phase, grows with conversation turns and context window size, and can occupy anywhere from a few GB to tens of GB of memory in long-text scenarios78% similarUnverifiedMethods for compressing the KV Cache include quantization, low-rank approximation, and evicting old tokens by importance; their direct effect is to increase the number of tokens (capacity) that a unit of GPU memory can hold, rather than to save compute or transfer.78% similarUnverifiedToken generation speed is divided into two phases: prefill (compute-intensive) and decode (memory-bandwidth-intensive).77% similar
