🚀 The feature, motivation and pitch

Superheroes just open sourced a new kv-cache compression method, called Triattention! It seems really promising and they say it's vLLM compatible already. Can/will this be merged to be installed by default with vLLM? The github repo is Apache 2.0, thank you so much @WeianMao

extent analysis

TL;DR

The Triattention kv-cache compression method may be considered for merge into vLLM if it is compatible and beneficial.

Guidance

  • Review the Triattention repository and its Apache 2.0 license to ensure compatibility with vLLM.
  • Evaluate the performance and benefits of the Triattention compression method to determine if it is suitable for default installation with vLLM.
  • Consider reaching out to the maintainers of vLLM or the creator of Triattention to discuss the possibility of a merge.
  • Check the vLLM documentation and existing issues to see if there are any plans or discussions about integrating Triattention.

Notes

The decision to merge Triattention into vLLM depends on various factors, including compatibility, performance, and licensing.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Consider using Triattention as an optional or external component until its compatibility and benefits are fully evaluated and verified.
