Tiered KV Cache Boosts Large LLM Inference on SageMaker HyperPod
Running large language model inference at scale often involves a trade-off between large GPU instances and slow time-to-first-token due to KV cache limitations. This post describes building a tiered KV cache on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod, extending the cache into a shared, distributed NVMe pool with Curvine, allowing replicas to reuse cache at near-local-disk speeds on cost-efficient instances.
AI-Generated Dog Cancer Vaccine Idea Leads to New Startup
An Australian entrepreneur, Paul Conyngham, has launched Gamgee, a startup focused on personalized mRNA cancer vaccines for dogs, inspired by an AI-generated concept for his own pet. The company aims to expand its AI and genetics-driven personalized treatments to other species, including humans.
