Towards Economical Inference: Enabling DeepSeek’s Multi-Head Latent Attention in Any Transformer-based LLMs

Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) is an innovative architecture proposed by DeepSeek, designed to ensure efficient and economical inference by significantly compressing the Key-Value (KV) cache into a latent vector. Compared to MLA, standard LLMs employing Multi-Head Attention (MHA) and its variants…
