+# Per-Head Mixed-Precision KV Cache Compression
+
+> Calibrate once. Compress smarter. Same quality.
+
+Most KV cache quantization treats every attention head equally.
+This is wrong. Some heads are **26x more sensitive** to quantization than others.
+We measure this, allocate bits accordingly, and get better compression than uniform 8-bit with zero quality loss.
+
+---
+
+## Results

+![Compression](figures/compression_bar_both.png)
+
+| Model | Method | Avg Bits | KV @ 8K | vs FP16 | vs 8-bit | Perplexity | Speed |
+|-------|--------|----------|---------|---------|---------|------------|-------|
+| Mistral-7B | FP16 Baseline | 16 | 1073 MB | 1.0x | — | 14.23 | 37.2 t/s |
+| Mistral-7B | Uniform 8-bit | 8 | 537 MB | 2.0x | 1.0x | ~same | ~same |
+| Mistral-7B | **Per-Head Mixed (Ours)** | **6.95** | **467 MB** | **2.3x** | **1.15x** | **14.23** | **37.2 t/s** |
+| Llama-3-8B | FP16 Baseline | 16 | 1073 MB | 1.0x | — | 20.7 | 36.7 t/s |
+| Llama-3-8B | Uniform 8-bit | 8 | 537 MB | 2.0x | 1.0x | ~same | ~same |
+| Llama-3-8B | **Per-Head Mixed (Ours)** | **7.84** | **526 MB** | **2.04x** | **1.02x** | **20.7** | **36.7 t/s** |

+| 16K | 2,147 MB | 933 MB | 2,147 MB | 1,053 MB |
+| 32K | 4,295 MB | 1,866 MB | OOM | ~2,106 MB |
+
+Llama-3-8B FP16 runs out of memory at 32K context. Our method fits.

+
+## The Key Insight
+
+![Sensitivity Heatmap](figures/mistral-7b_sensitivity_heatmap.png)
+
+Each cell is one attention head. Darker means more sensitive, which means it needs higher precision.
+The variance is massive — heads in the same layer need completely different treatment.
+Uniform quantization ignores this entirely.
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+**Step 1 — Calibrate (once, ~20 minutes)**
+
+Run 256 WikiText samples through the model. For each attention head measure reconstruction error at 4-bit and 8-bit. Save the optimal bit allocation to a JSON file (~1KB).
+
+**Step 2 — Compress (every inference)**
+
+Load the bit allocation. Quantize each head to its optimal precision. 4-bit heads use half the memory. 8-bit heads stay accurate.
+
+**Step 3 — Results**
+
+- 2.3x memory reduction on Mistral-7B
+- 2.04x memory reduction on Llama-3-8B
+- Zero perplexity degradation on both models
+- Same decode speed at 37 tokens/sec

+## Hardware and Environment
+
+- GPU: NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40GB
+- CUDA: 13.0
+- PyTorch: 2.7.0
+- Triton: 3.3.0
+- OS: Ubuntu 22.04
+
+---
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Current 4-bit implementation stores values in uint8 which wastes half the space. True bit-packing via Triton kernel is in progress on the triton-kernel branch.
+- Calibration uses WikiText-2. Domain-specific calibration may improve results for specialized use cases.
+- Tested on 7-8B models only. Larger models need validation.
+- Integration is HuggingFace only. vLLM integration is planned.
+
+<!-- ---
+
+## What's Next
+
+- True Triton 4-bit bit-packing kernel (triton-kernel branch)
+- vLLM PagedAttention integration
+- 32K and 128K context experiments
+- Llama-3-70B and Qwen-72B validation
+- Dynamic per-token bit allocation at decode time
+- ArXiv paper with full evaluation -->
