Stochastic KV Routing enables adaptive depth-wise cache sharing for LLMs

Researchers have developed a new method called Stochastic KV Routing to reduce the memory footprint of transformer language models. This technique enables adaptive depth-wise cache sharing by training layers to randomly attend to preceding layers' KV states. Evaluations indicate that this approach can significantly decrease memory requirements without sacrificing performance, and may even act as a regularization method in data-constrained scenarios. AI

IMPACT Reduces KV cache memory footprint, potentially lowering serving costs for transformer models.

    Stochastic KV Routing: Enabling Adaptive Depth-Wise Cache Sharing

    arXiv:2604.22782v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 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 servin…
