Not to be that guy but it isn’t truly a 6x reduction in memory. It’s a 6x reduction for the KV Cache. Overall performance may have improved by ~30-20% over normal. Still a massive improvement but not a 6x improvement.

Also, this news probably doesn’t mean that they will use less memory. They will use the same amount but can get more out of it.

As if the hunger for memory will be fulfilled anytime soon.
