NVIDIA has achieved a world-record large language model (LLM) inference speed. A single NVIDIA DGX B200 node with eight NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs can achieve over 1,000 tokens per second (TPS) per user on the 400-billion-parameter Llama 4 Maverick model, the largest and most powerful model available in the Llama 4 collection. This speed was independently measured by the AI benchmarking service��

As models grow larger and are trained on more data, they become more capable, making them more useful. To train these models quickly, more performance, delivered at data center scale, is required. The NVIDIA Blackwell platform, launched at GTC 2024 and now in full production, integrates seven types of chips: GPU, CPU, DPU, NVLink Switch chip, InfiniBand Switch, and Ethernet Switch.

In our previous blog post, we demonstrated how reusing the key-value (KV) cache by offloading it to CPU memory can accelerate time to first token (TTFT) by up to 14x on x86-based NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and 28x on the NVIDIA GH200 Superchip. In this post, we shed light on KV cache reuse techniques and best practices that can drive even further TTFT speedups. LLM models are rapidly��

Many of the most exciting applications of large language models (LLMs), such as interactive speech bots, coding co-pilots, and search, need to begin responding to user queries quickly to deliver positive user experiences. The time that it takes for an LLM to ingest a user prompt (and context, which can be sizable) and begin outputting a response is called time to first token (TTFT).

Employing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is an effective strategy for ensuring large language model (LLM) responses are up-to-date and not hallucinated. While various retrieval strategies can improve the recall of documents for generation, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. The retrieval pipeline depends on your data, from hyperparameters like the chunk size��
