GQA groups attention heads to share KV projections, which can compress the KV cache to 1/4 or less of the original size with almost no loss in model quality.

UnverifiedEnabling Flash Attention and setting the cache type to Q8 can reduce KV Cache VRAM usage by about half, with very little quality loss.77% similarUnverifiedKV Cache memory usage is proportional to the number of layers × number of attention heads × context length × precision; GQA reduces cache size by having multiple query heads share the same set of Key-Value heads, and this design has been adopted by the Llama 2/3 and Qwen series.77% similarUnverifiedOn-device deployment often comes with mechanisms such as KV cache quantization (e.g., compressing to 4 or 8 bits), grouped-query attention (GQA), and sliding-window or sparse attention.76% similarUnverifiedChoosing Q4_0 for KV cache quantization can compress the cache size to approximately one-quarter of FP16, with far less impact on output quality than model weight quantization.76% similarUnverifiedGQA allows multiple query heads to share the same set of KV heads, compressing the KV cache size to 1/4 to 1/8 of the original.75% similar
