Modern LLM serving stacks expose prefix-level KV-cache reuse, but most reasoning agents construct prompts in a way that defeats it. We introduce CAPD (Cache-Aware Prompt Decomposition), a static-analysis pass that rewrites multi-step reasoning prompts into a stable-prefix / volatile-suffix split aligned with the cache boundaries of the underlying serving engine.

We present an independent replication of TurboQuant (Zandieh and Mirrokni, ICLR 2026), a two-stage KV cache quantization method for large language model inference combining Lloyd-Max optimal scalar quantization with random orthogonal rotation and 1-bit Quantized Johnson-Lindenstrauss residual correction. We implement the full algorithm from scratch in PyTorch and integrate it into the Llama-3.
