TurboQuant-Compatible KV Backend Evaluation Package Released
Test the TurboQuant-compatible KV backend evaluation package against your KV cache implementation.
Test the TurboQuant-compatible KV backend evaluation package against your KV cache implementation.
Summary
An independent TurboQuant‑compatible KV backend evaluation package has been released on GitHub, targeting developers who need to validate compressed‑KV ABI compliance. The toolkit provides smoke tests for compressed KV block registration, KV dot / QK partial execution, block‑local attention partial decode, and capability probing. It also includes fallback and correctness reporting as well as minimal benchmark validation to ensure the backend behaves as expected.
The package is deliberately lightweight and does not include the full RetryIX runtime, private runtime, scheduling policy, or hardware‑interface contracts. It is not an official TurboQuant implementation, nor a replacement for llama.cpp or other model runtimes. The repository invites feedback from teams working on KV‑cache optimization, quantized inference, compressed‑KV formats, long‑context decoding, or backend integration. The tool is available at https://github.com/ixu2486/tq_compat_eval.
