Shattering the AI Memory Wall
summary
Claims that a GPU memory bottleneck — not compute — drives exploding token costs, and that KV cache token warehousing avoids repeated GPU prefill and the recompute tax. Offers an open source KBache Tester used by SemiAnalysis, Nvidia and AMD to replay real agent-swarm traces. Benchmarks on Oracle show 10x more Miniax sessions and Fermas/Alibaba report ~6.5x tokens for Quen3, cutting latency and token cost dramatically.
