The KV cache, a critical component for large language models, expands with each token processed, potentially consuming significant GPU memory. This article explores four adjustable parameters that can help manage KV cache size and keep it on the GPU. One specific parameter can drastically reduce long-context recall performance, dropping it from 91% to as low as 13%. AI
IMPACT Optimizing KV cache can improve LLM inference speed and efficiency, enabling larger context windows on existing hardware.
