About

LMCache is an open source Knowledge Delivery Network (KDN) designed as a caching layer for large language model serving that accelerates inference by reusing KV (key-value) caches across repeated or overlapping computations. It enables fast prompt caching, allowing LLMs to “prefill” recurring text only once and then reuse those stored KV caches, even in non-prefix positions, across multiple serving instances. This approach reduces time to first token, saves GPU cycles, and increases throughput in scenarios such as multi-round question answering or retrieval augmented generation. LMCache supports KV cache offloading (moving cache from GPU to CPU or disk), cache sharing across instances, and disaggregated prefill, which separates the prefill and decoding phases for resource efficiency. It is compatible with inference engines like vLLM and TGI and supports compressed storage, blending techniques to merge caches, and multiple backend storage options.

About

Mu is a 330-million-parameter encoder–decoder language model designed to power the agent in Windows settings by mapping natural-language queries to Settings function calls, running fully on-device via NPUs at over 100 tokens per second while maintaining high accuracy. Drawing on Phi Silica optimizations, Mu’s encoder–decoder architecture reuses a fixed-length latent representation to cut computation and memory overhead, yielding 47 percent lower first-token latency and 4.7× higher decoding speed on Qualcomm Hexagon NPUs compared to similar decoder-only models. Hardware-aware tuning, including a 2/3–1/3 encoder–decoder parameter split, weight sharing between input and output embeddings, Dual LayerNorm, rotary positional embeddings, and grouped-query attention, enables fast inference at over 200 tokens per second on devices like Surface Laptop 7 and sub-500 ms response times for settings queries.
