UnverifiedDuring Transformer model inference, the KV Cache (key-value cache) expands continuously as the conversation grows, causing the attention score distribution to become increasingly flat and making it difficult for the model to precisely focus on information relevant to the current task.71% similarUnverifiedThe KV Cache (key-value cache) mechanism accelerates inference by caching the Key and Value vectors generated by the self-attention layer to avoid redundant computation, but the longer the context, the more vectors must reside in VRAM, causing memory pressure to grow in a near-linear fashion.70% similarVerifiedMulti-Head Latent Attention (MLA) significantly reduces KV Cache memory usage during the inference phase by performing low-rank compression on the Key-Value cache.70% similarUnverifiedThe Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) mechanism reduces VRAM usage during inference by compressing the KV cache69% similarUnverifiedCurrent large models do not have a true persistent memory mechanism, and as the number of conversation turns increases, the weight of early requirement descriptions in the attention mechanism gradually decays.69% similar
