Summary

The author introduces a learning track on large model inference optimization, covering topics such as KV Cache, Continuous Batching, PagedAttention, and a comparison between vLLM and SGLang, highlighting it as cutting-edge in AI deployment.

I've gone through the basics of the Transformer architecture, inference, and training process. Next, I'll start a new learning track: "Large Model Inference Optimization" This track is a complete causal chain, spanning 6 parts in total: 1. KV Cache (Part 1): Saving on repeated computations 2. KV Cache (Part 2): The memory cost 3. Continuous Batching: Scheduling without waste 4. PagedAttention: How vLLM manages memory 5.

I’ve gone through the basics of the Transformer architecture, inference, and training process.
Next, I’ll start a new learning track: “Large Model Inference Optimization”
This track is a complete causal chain, spanning 6 parts in total:

  1. KV Cache (Part 1): Saving on repeated computations
  2. KV Cache (Part 2): The memory cost
  3. Continuous Batching: Scheduling without waste
  4. PagedAttention: How vLLM manages memory
  5. RadixAttention: How SGLang reuses prefixes
  6. vLLM vs SGLang: A side-by-side comparison to wrap it up

Why choose this track?
Because it’s the intersection of recommendations from multiple AI analyses
It’s a causal chain:
→ Saves on repeated computations
→ Which means facing memory costs
→ Memory pressure gives rise to scheduling optimizations
→ After scheduling, you still need to solve how to allocate memory
→ After allocation, you need to address repeated prefixes across multiple requests
→ Finally, a comparison of the two technical paths in practice

This is also currently one of the most cutting-edge and actively used layers of technology in large model engineering deployment—not just concepts on paper

Because of my lack of knowledge in this area
I don’t yet have a global perspective
So I’m temporarily setting this track
After gradually learning, things should become clear ahead
Of course, it will change midway based on learning progress
