+ # mlx-kv-quant
57
+
58
+ Production-grade KV cache quantization for Apple Silicon M4, implementing three research algorithms — **TurboQuant**, **PolarQuant**, and **QJL** — as a drop-in replacement for the KV cache in MLX-based LLM inference stacks.
59
+
60
+ ## Installation
61
+
62
+ ```bash
63
+ pip install -e ".[dev]"
64
+ ```
65
+
66
+ > Requires Python ≥ 3.11 and an Apple Silicon Mac with MLX ≥ 0.18.
67
+
68
+ ## Quick Start
69
+
70
+ ```python
71
+ import mlx.core as mx
72
+ import numpy as np
73
+ from mlx_kv_quant import KVCacheBuilder
74
+
75
+ # Build a TurboQuantProd cache with the fluent builder
76
+ cache = (
77
+ KVCacheBuilder()
78
+ .with_method("turboquant_prod") # or "turboquant_mse", "polar", "qjl"
79
+ .with_head_dim(128)
80
+ .with_bit_width(inlier=2, outlier=3)
81
+ .with_jl_dim(128)
82
+ .with_n_outlier_channels(4)
83
+ .with_seed(42)
84
+ .with_precision(mx.float16)
85
+ .build()
86
+ )
87
+
88
+ # Simulate streaming token generation
89
+ rng = np.random.default_rng(0)
90
+ for _ in range(100):
91
+ k = mx.array(rng.standard_normal(128).astype(np.float16))
92
+ v = mx.array(rng.standard_normal(128).astype(np.float16))
93
+ cache.append(k, v)
94
+
95
+ q = mx.array(rng.standard_normal(128).astype(np.float16))
96
+ output = cache.attend(q) # shape (128,)
97
+ print(f"Memory: {cache.memory_bytes() / 1024:.1f} KB for {len(cache)} tokens")
98
+ ```
99
+
100
+ ## Architecture
101
+
102
+ The quantization pipeline uses a **Chain of Responsibility** pattern. Each handler mutates a `QuantizationContext` and passes it downstream:
103
+
104
+ ```
105
+ TurboQuantProd pipeline

131

132
+ **PolarQuant pipeline:**
133
+ ```
134
+ NormalizationHandler → RotationHandler → PolarTransformHandler
135
+ → ScalarQuantHandler (per level) → BitPackingHandler
136
+ ```
137
+
138
+ ## Precomputation
139
+
140
+ Run once to generate rotation matrices, JL matrices, and optimal codebooks:
141
+
142
+ ```bash
143
+ python -m mlx_kv_quant precompute \
144
+ --head_dim 128 \
145
+ --bits 1 2 3 4 \
146
+ --jl_dim 128 \
147
+ --seed 42 \
148
+ --output_dir ./artifacts/
149
+ ```
150
+
151
+ Then pass an `NpyArtifactStore` to the builder:
152
+
153
+ ```python
154
+ from mlx_kv_quant.artifacts import NpyArtifactStore
155
+ from mlx_kv_quant import KVCacheBuilder
156
+
157
+ cache = (
158
+ KVCacheBuilder()
159
+ .with_method("turboquant_prod")
160
+ .with_head_dim(128)
161
+ .with_bit_width(inlier=2)
162
+ .with_artifact_store(NpyArtifactStore("./artifacts/"))
163
+ .build()
164
+ )
165
+ ```
166
+
167
+ ## Benchmarks
168
+
169
+ ```bash
170
+ python -m mlx_kv_quant benchmark \
171
+ --method turboquant_prod \
172
+ --head_dim 128 \
173
+ --bits 3 \
174
+ --seq_len 1000
175
+ ```

243
+
244
+ turboquant_prod sees the largest gain because its `b_mse = 2` hits the fully vectorized NumPy unpack path. turboquant_mse at `b=3` still falls back to a per-token Python loop (3-bit unpack has no native NumPy primitive); the 1.56× gain comes from vectorized sign unpacking and the reduced attend overhead. Implementing a vectorized 3-bit unpack would close this gap.
245
+
246
+ The encode time increase for prod/mse reflects the `OutlierDetector` running during calibration (128 heap insertions per token × 1 000 tokens). For production use, calibration overhead amortises over the full context; a future optimisation is to defer heap updates and run `np.argpartition` once at the calibration boundary.

249
+
250
+ | Method | Bits | IP MSE | IP Correlation | vs Run C |
251
+ |---|---:|---:|---:|---|
252
+ | turboquant_mse | 3 | 0.00027 | **0.983** | +0.001 |
253

256
+ | qjl | 1 | 0.01213 | 0.592 | −0.031 |
257
+
258
+ TurboQuantProd at 3 bits improves from 0.915 → **0.924** correlation (+0.009) because the outlier two-stream cache stores the 4 highest-magnitude channels at int8 precision instead of compressing them with the 2-bit MSE codebook, leading to more accurate inner-product estimates for the dominant channels. TurboQuantMSE at 3 bits holds at **0.983** — already at its quantization ceiling.

357

358
+ The `vectorized` configuration enables block-level NumPy unpacking of bit-packed keys instead of a per-token Python loop. The `fused` configuration adds chunked `mx.take` gather + reduction to avoid materialising the full `(n, d)` float16 intermediate. `all_opts` additionally activates the outlier two-stream cache.

361

362

375
+ ## Run D vs Paper — Gap Analysis
376
+
377
+ ### IP quality ✅ matches
378
+
379
+ | Metric | Paper claim | Run D |
380
+ |---|---|---|
381
+ | TurboQuantMSE 3-bit IP correlation | "near-lossless" | **0.983** |
382
+ | TurboQuantProd 3-bit IP correlation | unbiased, higher variance | **0.924** (+0.009 vs Run C) |
383
+ | Distortion bound D_mse at b=3 | ≤ 0.03 (Theorem 1) | 0.00027 IP MSE — within bound |
384
+ | Outlier two-stream benefit | improves accuracy at low bits | +0.009 corr for prod at 3-bit |
385
+
386
+ Our empirical distortion satisfies the paper's theoretical bound D_mse ≤ √(3π)/2 · 4^(−b) ≈ 2.72 · 4^(−b) at every bit-width tested. The "near-lossless at 3 bits" quality claim holds.
387
+
388
+ ### Compression ❌ falls short of 6×
389
+
390
+ The paper claims **at least 6× KV memory reduction**. Our accounting:
391
+
392
+ | What is measured | Compression |
393
+ |---|---|
394
+ | Key-only (indices + signs + norm) vs fp16 key | **5.1×** (50 B vs 256 B per token) |
395
+ | Full K+V vs fp16 K+V (our implementation) | **2.75×** |
396
+
397
+ The shortfall is almost entirely the **value cache**: storing values as int8 with a fp16 scale costs ~130 B/token (~8.1 bits/coord). The paper likely reports key-only compression or uses a tighter value codec. The 5.1× key-only figure is close to the paper's 6×; the K+V figure of 2.75× does not match the headline claim.
398
+
399
+ ### Attend speedup ⚠️ not directly comparable
400
+
401
+ | | Paper | Run D |
402
+ |---|---|---|
403
+ | Hardware | H100 GPU | Apple Silicon M4 |
404
+ | Baseline | fp32 unquantized JAX | own non-vectorized Python loop |
405
+ | Speedup | **8× at 4-bit** | **35.6× at 3-bit** (turboquant_prod) |
406
+
407
+ The 35.6× is measured against the old per-token unpacking loop, not against unquantized fp16 attention. The paper's 8× is on different hardware and a different baseline — the numbers mean different things.
408
+
409
+ ### What would close the gaps
410
+
411
+ | Gap | Required change | Expected gain |
412
+ |---|---|---|
413
+ | K+V compression 2.75× → ~5× | Quantize value cache with TurboQuantMSE at 2-bit instead of int8 | Drops V from ~8.1 to ~3 bits/coord |
414
+ | Compression → 6× | Additionally use 32 outlier channels at 3-bit (paper recommendation) vs our 4 channels at int8 | More precise outlier allocation |
415
+ | turboquant_mse attend still 10 ms | Implement vectorized 3-bit unpack (NumPy has no native primitive) | Expected ~5–10× further speedup |
416
+ | Fair speedup comparison | Measure vs `mx.scaled_dot_product_attention` on the same token counts | Apples-to-apples vs unquantized attention |
417
+
418
+ The single highest-impact change to match the paper's 6× headline is **quantizing values with TurboQuantMSE at 2 bits** — this alone would bring the combined K+V storage down to roughly 5–5.5 bits/coord, surpassing the paper's per-key numbers and approaching their full-cache claim.
419
+
420
+ ## Memory Budget
421
+
422
+ | Method | Effective bits | 50K tokens (d=128) |
423
+ |---|---|---|
424
+ | fp16 baseline | 16 | ~12.8 GB |
425
+ | TurboQuant 2.5-bit | ~2.5 | ~2.0 GB |
426
+ | TurboQuant 3.5-bit | ~3.5 | ~2.8 GB |
427
+ | QJL 1-bit | ~1 | ~0.8 GB |
428
+
429
+ ## Design Patterns
430
+
431
+ The library uses 10 software engineering patterns:
432
+
433
+ 1. **Abstract Base Classes** — `Quantizer`, `KVCache`, `Preconditioner`, etc.
434
+ 2. **Factory** — `QuantizerFactory`, `KVCacheFactory`, `CodebookFactory`
435
+ 3. **Chain of Responsibility** — `QuantizationHandler` pipeline
436
+ 4. **Builder** — `KVCacheBuilder` with fluent API
437
+ 5. **Strategy** — `CodebookStrategy`, `InnerProductStrategy`
438
+ 6. **Registry + Plugin** — `@QuantizerRegistry.register("qjl")`
439
+ 7. **Composite** — `CompositeQuantizer` for outlier/inlier split
440
+ 8. **Observer** — `LatencyObserver`, `MemoryObserver`, `DistortionObserver`
441
+ 9. **DAO** — `NpyArtifactStore`, `InMemoryArtifactStore`
442
+ 10. **Custom DSA** — `RingBuffer`, `MaxHeap`, `QuantizationGraph`, `BitPackBuffer`, `VoronoiTree` (AVL)
