TurboQuant and the Hidden KV Cache Bottleneck
from AI News - InfoFina.com · host Jellypod
Andy breaks down why LLM demos can fail in production even when the model fits on the GPU: the real pressure often comes from the KV cache during long prompts and high concurrency. He also explains Google Research’s TurboQuant approach, how 3-bit cache compression could slash memory use and infrastructure costs, and what to test before trying it in a self-hosted stack.
