Apple researchers propose cache sharing to reduce LLM serving costs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Apple Machine Learning Research has published a paper detailing a new method called Stochastic KV Routing to reduce the memory footprint of transformer language models. This technique focuses on optimizing the depth dimension of the KV cache, rather than just temporal compression or eviction. By training layers to randomly attend to preceding layers' KV states, the model becomes adaptable to various cache-sharing strategies without information loss, potentially preserving or improving performance while significantly cutting memory usage.

    Stochastic KV Routing: Enabling Adaptive Depth-Wise Cache Sharing

    Serving transformer language models with high throughput requires caching Key-Values (KVs) to avoid redundant computation during autoregressive generation. The memory footprint of KV caching is significant and heavily impacts serving costs. This work proposes to lessen these memo…
