Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Pilot for workloads with repeated long prefixes or cross-replica context reuse.

Why
Independent experiments show conditional benefits, while transfer correctness and backend performance require configuration-specific validation.
Next
Compare against local GPU prefix reuse, verify cached-output integrity, and measure performance under realistic cache pressure.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Certain packed-layout and transfer paths have demonstrated correctness failures.
  • Benefits depend on prefix reuse and replica placement.
  • Storage latency and memory bandwidth can erase expected gains.
  • Model, engine, allocator and backend compatibility require testing.
  • Broad sustained production reliability remains unestablished.
