When handling long contexts, multi-turn dialogues, and complex reasoning chains in inference scenarios, models need to frequently read and write large amounts of intermediate states (such as KV Cache), placing extremely high demands on memory capacity and bandwidth.

VerifiedThe autoregressive generation process of reasoning models is strictly sequential; KV Cache VRAM usage grows linearly with the length of the thinking token sequence, making memory bandwidth the performance bottleneck.77% similarVerifiedThe inference stage of large models is memory-bound (limited by memory bandwidth); generating each token requires reading the entire model weights from VRAM, resulting in extremely low computational intensity.76% similarUnverified大模型推理是典型的内存带宽密集型任务,GPU计算核心往往处于等待数据的状态76% similarUnverifiedReasoning tasks require a strong logical chain while summarization tasks demand concise language ability, and using the same model for both not only wastes computing power but may also not yield the best results.75% similarUnverifiedTop-tier models employ techniques such as chain-of-thought or extended reasoning, generating a large number of intermediate tokens during inference, causing per-call token consumption to be several times that of ordinary models.75% similar
