NVIDIA/kvpress

• highreadme#1

  Reposition README's opening to explicitly state LLM KV cache compression

  Why:

  CURRENT

  Deploying long-context LLMs is costly due to the linear growth of the key-value (KV) cache in transformer models. For example, handling 1M tokens with Llama 3.1-70B in float16 requires up to 330GB of memory. kvpress implements multiple KV cache compression methods and benchmarks using 🤗 transformers, aiming to simplify the development of new methods for researchers and developers in this field.

  kvpress is a library for **LLM KV cache compression**, addressing the costly linear growth of the key-value (KV) cache in transformer models when deploying long-context LLMs. For example, handling 1M tokens with Llama 3.1-70B in float16 requires up to 330GB of memory. kvpress implements multiple KV cache compression methods and benchmarks using 🤗 transformers, aiming to simplify the development of new methods for researchers and developers in this field.

  Add a comparison section to the README

  Why:

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  Add a new section titled 'Comparison with other LLM Optimization Techniques' that explains how KV cache compression differs from and complements methods like quantization (e.g., AWQ, GPTQ) or efficient attention mechanisms (e.g., FlashAttention, vLLM).
