DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash hits 5x agent throughput on vLLM via SWA bounded replay

vLLM highlights 37FlowAI's teardown of DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash: three weeks after launch, SWA bounded replay pushes agent-scenario throughput to 5x. Window KVs are not kept resident; on prefix hits only the last 128 tokens are recomputed, halving long-prompt prefill and cutting TTFT by 30%, with open-source new kernels contributing the rest. In agent serving, prefill is the biggest cost, so KV savings directly determine concurrency.
