    When the KV Cache Is Slower Than the GPU: Scaling Remote KV Tiers for Context-Parallel Prefill
    Reusing the attention KV cache across requests is a standard way to cut prefill cost in long-context LLM serving, and production systems increasingly back the per-engine cache with a remote tier shared by every engine.

    4x R9700 builds with $127 used EPYCs: $10.7k all-in per machine. I built three (384GB VRAM)
    I saw the 4x R9700 build for a 10-person startup here a few days ago and wanted to share my results, since I opted to spend most of the money on the cards.

    A short horror video I made with Minimax h3, Kroma, Vibevoice and LLM magic
    The text message screen recording thing is made by an LLM agent (GLM 5.3) that wrote a python script and threw it all together using Python libraries to render it, pretty cool :)
