Smarter Cache Sharing for LLMs

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.
