LLM Inference: Foundations & KV Cache

Explore tokens, prefill, decode, attention, cache memory and prefix reuse through interactive diagrams. These simplified simulations build intuition; they do not run a real model or measure performance.

Built while studying Efficient Memory Management for Large Language Model Serving with PagedAttention, alongside the Hugging Face cache guide and vLLM prefix caching documentation. This site covers prerequisites and related mechanisms, rather than the entire paper.
