    Can someone please explain to me how the recent llm cache breakthrough doesn&#x27;t alleviate this memory shortage issue? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;intl.cloud.baidu.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;article&#x2F;8937874" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;intl.cloud.baidu.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;article&#x2F;8937874

      Why use less memory when you can just have more LLM?

          Yes it is, they&#x27;re talking about induced demand. There are lots of resources where, when usage of the resource becomes more efficient, people end up using more rather than less.
