Nvidia's KV Cache Transform Coding (KVTC) compresses LLM key-value cache by 20x without model changes, cutting GPU memory costs and time-to-first-token by up to 8x for multi-turn AI applications.

GPU memory (VRAM) is the critical limiting factor that determines which AI models you can run, not GPU performance. Total VRAM requirements are typically 1.2-1.5x the model size due to weights, KV ...
