Large language models are facing memory challenges as AI agents require extensive context, leading to large KV caches that strain GPU memory. To address this, a new approach shifts memory management from GPUs to CPUs, utilizing tiered storage including DDR memory and SSDs. This strategy aims to free up GPU resources for generating new tokens by offloading historical data, with technologies like Intel's QAT potentially accelerating compression and decompression to improve efficiency. AI
