llama.cpp introduces moe-cache for improved expert prioritization

The llama.cpp project has released version b12170, introducing a new "moe-cache" system. This hybrid cache, inspired by LRFU and MQ, aims to prioritize frequently used experts within different classes, ranked by decaying usage history. Initial benchmarks show performance improvements, with a warm cache yielding a 6-7% decode speed increase and 8% fewer uploads compared to the previous SLRU cache. AI

IMPACT This new caching mechanism could improve inference speed and efficiency for local LLM deployments.

RANK_REASON This is a software release for an open-source project focused on LLM inference optimization, detailing a new caching mechanism.
