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 ...

Google researchers have published a new quantization technique called TurboQuant that compresses the key-value (KV) cache in large language models to 3.5 bits per channel, cutting memory consumption ...

Google AI has introduced a major breakthrough with TurboQuant, a system that reduces KV cache memory usage by up to 6x while improving chatbot efficiency during real-time conversations. This allows AI ...
