LMCache is suitable for the following typical scenarios:
- interactive question and answer system: Cache key-value pairs in the context of a conversation to speed up responses to successive questions and reduce chatbot latency.
- Retrieval Augmentation Generation (RAG): Cache key-value pairs of documents to quickly respond to similar queries and improve the efficiency of knowledge base or smart search.
- Multimodal model inference: Reduce GPU memory footprint by caching intermediate results of visual-linguistic models via hashed image tokens.
- Massively Distributed Deployment: Optimize resource utilization for enterprise-class AI inference services by leveraging cross-node shared caching capabilities.
For example, in RAG applications, LMCache can cache the computation results of high-frequency document retrieval, and subsequent identical or similar queries can directly reuse the cache to reduce the overhead of repeated computations. Its open source feature (Apache 2.0 license) also facilitates community customization and extension.
