You’re in an AI Engineer interview at Meta and the interviewer asks:
“We all know KV Caching speeds up token generation. What’s the primary bottleneck this technique creates in a high-throughput production system, and how do you conceptually solve it?”
Don’t say: “It’s an optimization that stops the model from re-computing the Key/Value states for all pre…
