A new paper introduces a stateful transformer inference engine that significantly speeds up processing for streaming data by maintaining a persistent KV cache. This approach allows for query latency that is independent of accumulated context size, achieving up to a 5.9x speedup on market-data benchmarks compared to existing engines. Separately, Intel has released AutoRound, an advanced quantization toolkit for LLMs and VLMs that enables high accuracy at ultra-low bit widths (2-4 bits) with broad hardware compatibility, integrating with popular frameworks like vLLM and Transformers.
