Kamino implements a latency-driven cache-aware scheduler on top of Protein, adding a multiQ design, request classifiers, a latency estimator, and the LAC cache algorithm that estimates hit/miss times per agent to pick the lowest expected end-to-end latency. Simulation on six high-traffic traces shows 42% reduction in average latencies and up to 55% tail improvement; a production rollout across five Azure zones yields 33% decrease in cache miss rates and 17% lower memory use.
