DuoAttention: Enhancing Long-Context Inference Efficiency in Large Language Models

DuoAttention reimagines efficiency for Large Language Models (LLMs) by categorizing attention heads into Retrieval and Streaming types, allowing for effective memory optimization in long-context scenarios. This mechanism enables LLMs to reduce memory usage and improve processing speed without compromising performance. With real-world applications in legal, healthcare, and customer support sectors, DuoAttention sets new standards for scalable AI solutions, making long-context inference more accessible even on standard hardware configurations
