Accurate KV Cache Quantization with Outlier Tokens Tracing

We discuss Accurate KV Cache Quantization with Outlier Tokens Tracing, a deep dive into improving the efficiency of LLM inference. The authors enhance KV Cache quantization, a technique for reducing memory and compute costs during inference, by introducing a method to identify and exclude outlier tokens that hurt quantization accuracy, striking a better balance between efficiency and performance.
