Smarter Cache Sharing for LLMs
Boosting inference efficiency through semantic similarity
KVShare introduces a novel approach to sharing key-value caches across multiple users based on semantic similarity rather than exact text matching.
- Enables fine-grained cache reuse between semantically similar but textually different queries
- Balances efficient resource utilization with maintaining response diversity
- Particularly valuable for domains with repetitive query patterns like education and customer support
- Overcomes limitations of existing prefix and semantic caching methods
This engineering innovation significantly reduces computational overhead for LLM deployments while preserving response quality and uniqueness.
