“Something over the next 12 months people will be spending time thinking about is how to, like, where to use RAG, where to use fine-tuning, where to use KV cache storage, you know, and how to use state.”

Insight
Most inference optimizations like KV caching are lossless, unlike quantization
“Most inference optimizations are lossless. KV caching, for example, you are just recomputing or preventing recomputing the same values. Speculation, of course, If a draft token is wrong, it gets rejected. The main lossy optimization is quantization”
