The KV cache mechanism saves the Key and Value matrices of historical tokens and reuses them in subsequent generation, thereby amortizing the per-unit cost of the input stage.

VerifiedKV Cache is a key data structure in autoregressive generation by large models: when generating each new token the model needs the Key and Value vectors of all previous tokens, and if these were recalculated every time the cost would grow quadratically with sequence length.78% similarUnverifiedAutoregressive models use KV Cache to cache the Key and Value matrices of historical tokens, with memory usage growing linearly with sequence length.78% similarUnverifiedPrefix cache reuse causes KV values to be computed in a different batch than a fresh prefill, so the KV values from a cache hit may differ at the floating-point level from those of a fresh prefill, and the difference propagates through subsequent tokens.77% similarVerifiedKVCache is a mechanism in the Transformer architecture that caches the Key and Value vectors of all previous tokens to avoid redundant computation, with its memory footprint growing linearly with context length.76% similarUnverifiedKV Cache技术允许模型在自回归生成时复用历史token的注意力Key-Value矩阵计算结果，使长对话推理延迟从O(n²)降低至接近线性76% similar
