Briefings

SparseEngine is a ground-up inference engine designed to address KV-cache memory strain in long-context LLM agents. It introduces a shared lifecycle contract allowing methods to control KV representations independently while coordinating with serving infrastructure. The system supports 15 methods across four categories, enabling cross-request state management via Chain Cache and controllable Prefix-Cache Pruning. Performance metrics show over 10x higher throughput with KV eviction, 2.5x faster decoding at matched concurrency compared to vLLM, and 2x end-to-end speedup on agent benchmarks.

Key points

• SparseEngine supports 15 distinct methods across four categories, each with independent KV representation control.
• The system achieves over 10x higher throughput with KV eviction and 2.5x faster decoding at matched concurrency compared to vLLM.

Context

Long-context LLM agents accumulate interaction histories that strain KV-cache memory and attention computation. Sparse attention reduces these costs, but heterogeneous cache representations and workflows hinder integration with existing inference engines. SparseEngine addresses this by providing a ground-up, sparse-first inference engine with a shared lifecycle contract.

Limitations

Evidence covers only the SparseEngine system and its benchmark results. No additional background on LLM architecture, sparse attention mechanisms, or specific agent workflows is supplied. The code is available at https://github.com/CURRENTF/SparseEngine.
