Smarter Cache Sharing for LLMs
Improving inference efficiency through semantic similarity
KVShare introduces a novel approach to share Key-Value caches across multiple users based on semantic similarity rather than exact text matching.
- Enables fine-grained reuse of KV caches between different but semantically similar queries
- Overcomes limitations of traditional prefix caching while maintaining response diversity
- Achieves significant inference efficiency improvements for LLMs and MLLMs
- Particularly valuable for applications with repetitive query patterns like education and customer support
This engineering innovation directly addresses the computational bottleneck in LLM deployment, making real-time AI assistants more scalable and cost-effective.
