Google has published TurboQuant, a KV cache compression algorithm that cuts LLM memory usage by 6x with zero accuracy loss, ...

What is Google TurboQuant, how does it work, what results has it delivered, and why does it matter? A deep look at TurboQuant, PolarQuant, QJL, KV cache compression, and AI performance.

In a computer, the entire memory can be separated into different levels based on access time and capacity. Figure 1 shows different levels in the memory hierarchy. Smaller and faster memories are kept ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...
