With KV Cache, each round of Q projection only needs to compute a 1×D_k vector, whereas without caching, a full N×D_k matrix must be computed.

UnverifiedThe size of the KV cache is determined by three multiplied dimensions: the size of each record, how many tokens are combined into one record, and whether layers can share caches with each other.75% similarUnverifiedFor a typical 7B-parameter model, the KV Cache per 1K tokens requires approximately 0.5–1 GB of VRAM.73% similarVerifiedKV Cache reduces the computational complexity of self-attention from O(N²) to O(N) by caching already-computed Key-Value pairs in GPU memory, but memory usage grows linearly with sequence length.71% similarVerifiedThe VRAM usage of KV Cache grows linearly with sequence length; for a 70-billion-parameter model using GQA, the KV Cache usage can reach tens of GB when processing 100,000 tokens.70% similarUnverifiedVRAM 成为本地 LLM 上下文瓶颈的根本原因在于 KV Cache 机制，7B 模型每 1K token 的 KV Cache 约需 0.5–1GB 显存70% similar
