Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
SGLang's inference engine speeds up serving by caching every request's key-value data in a shared tree structure keyed on token sequence, a technique called RadixAttention. A new request that shares a prefix with earlier ones — a system prompt, chat history, or a branching set of tool calls — only needs to compute the unmatched remainder, instead of reprocessing the whole prompt from scratch.
