Typical scenarios that benefit from prefix caching include multi-turn conversations sharing the same system prompt, repeated document contexts in RAG, and stable codebase prefixes in code completion.

UnverifiedRadixAttention can identify prefix segments shared across different requests and directly reuse cached computation results, reducing redundant computation in scenarios with fixed system prompts, multi-turn conversations, or batch document Q&A, thereby improving throughput and reducing time-to-first-token (TTFT).74% similarUnverifiedRadixAttention prefix caching builds the prompts of multiple requests into a radix tree, so identical prefixes compute the KV cache only once and subsequent requests can reuse it directly.73% similarUnverifiedPrefix caching leverages the fact that the system prompt and conversation history remain unchanged across turns in long conversations, saving the KV cache of the fixed prefix for reuse in new turns to avoid redundant computation.72% similarUnverifiedMainstream prefix caching implementations include Anthropic's Prompt Caching, OpenAI's automatic caching, and RadixAttention in inference frameworks such as vLLM.72% similarUnverifiedClient-side caching is only effective for completely identical inputs, while KV Cache excels at handling scenarios with repeated prefixes; using both in combination can cover a wider range of repetition patterns.71% similar
