Announcing state-of-the-art optimizations for LLM inference in MAX Serve - originally published on Modular’s blog.
I wrote a blog post on the Modular blog announcing the integration of Paged Attention and Prefix Caching into MAX Serve.
These features bring state-of-the-art optimizations to LLM inference, significantly improving computational efficiency and memory management.
Key topics covered:
- What is Paged Attention and why it matters
- How Prefix Caching improves inference performance
- Addressing computational challenges in Multi-Head Attention
- Installation and setup instructions
- Commands for enabling these optimizations
- Performance benchmarks and improvements
