Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
NIXL is a low-level data-transfer library that moves inference data, particularly cached context from processing a prompt, between GPUs, CPU memory, and storage. It exposes pluggable network backends behind one interface, so a serving system can automatically choose the fastest path for a given hardware setup when shipping cache between separate workers.
