Improve TTFT for multi-turn agentic workloads with bi-directional KV transfer in vLLM

Improve TTFT for multi-turn agentic workloads with bi-directional KV transfer in vLLM

AI summary

Multi-turn agentic workloads reprocess growing conversation context each turn, driving up latency. See how bi-directional KV cache transfer lets prefill and decode nodes reuse previously computed context across turns, cutting time to first token by up to 1.6x for Qwen3-32B and 3.3x for GLM-5-FP8 on Amazon EC2 P5en instances with EFA.

Selection record

Not admittedSum of both 116 < twice the threshold 120

Source tier
Official, first-hand; this tier's threshold is 60
Pre-filter
passed:vLLM多轮Agent KV传输优化,实质AI技术

A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
