UnverifiedKV cache runtime provides a low-cost, fine-grained, real-time intervention capability that fills the gap between model fine-tuning and external scaffolding.72% 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.70% similarUnverifiedKV cache hits (prefix caching) are not zero-cost; storage, bandwidth and garbage collection all incur costs, they are just amortized.70% similarUnverifiedCompressing 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 models70% similarUnverifiedTechnologies that compress the KV cache directly translate into longer context windows and lower per-unit inference costs.69% similar
