KV-Pool: 4.5x Agent Inference Throughput with Persistent KV Cache
Alibaba Cloud has introduced KV-Pool, an optimized service designed to enhance agent inference throughput by up to 4.5 times. This service utilizes a persistent KV cache to reduce computation time by reusing previously computed data during multi-turn interactions. The implementation has shown significant improvements in latency and cache hit rates, making agent tasks feel more like real-time conversations.
- ▪KV-Pool improves GPU utilization and reduces inference latency by persisting KV cache across requests.
- ▪The service has been benchmarked using real coding agent interactions, demonstrating a cache hit rate of 94.9-96.2%.
- ▪With KV-Pool, average total latency dropped by 41-70%, allowing for faster agent interactions.

In agent workloads, this becomes especially expensive. Consider a coding agent helping a developer refactor a module. The agent reads the file, proposes an edit, applies it, runs tests, sees a failure, reads the error log, and tries again.
