UnverifiedTransformer 架构中自注意力层会为每个 Token 生成对应的 Key 和 Value 向量并缓存在 GPU 显存中，即 KV Cache 机制，上下文越长占用显存越大，推理成本呈近线性增长80% similarUnverifiedThe autoregressive generation mechanism of the Transformer architecture means that input tokens only require a single forward-pass encoding and are stored and reused via KV Cache, whereas each step of output token generation requires a full forward pass, causing inference cost to grow linearly with output length.76% similarUnverifiedGPU并行归约操作的浮点累加顺序不固定导致传统Transformer注意力机制的实际输出存在微小的不可复现波动74% similarUnverifiedPrompt caching relies on the KV Cache (key-value cache) mechanism in its technical implementation.74% similarUnverifiedReusing the KV cache of identical context prefixes across requests can reduce redundant computation in the prefill stage, thereby lowering time-to-first-token (TTFT).73% similar
