Five Ways NVIDIA Co-Design Maximizes the Value of Every Byte in the AI Factory
Explains how NVIDIA's co-design approach gets more useful work out of high bandwidth memory in AI factories, covering the costs of redundant weight copies, idle KV caches, and recomputed prefixes. Describes five specific strategies and the generational performance data behind them.

Every byte spent on a redundant weight copy, an idle session’s KV cache, or a recomputed prefix is a byte that is not being used to produce tokens. The question is no longer how much memory a GPU has, but how much useful work each byte delivers. The generational data in Figure 1 below…
