Researchers have developed a novel framework for edge-cloud collaborative inference of large language models (LLMs) that addresses the trade-offs between latency, resource limitations, and user privacy. This system utilizes endpoint-authenticated KV cache, where local devices handle initial processing, embedding, and KV cache authentication, while the cloud performs authenticated decoder inference and token verification. The framework supports various devices through optimized streaming, batching, and ONNX deployment, demonstrating significant reductions in latency and data transmission compared to existing split inference methods while maintaining performance comparable to full cloud inference.
