Kimi K3.1 mixes DSA with recurrent Kimi Delta Attention in one packed cache

vllm_project · x · 2026-11-05

The vLLM project describes Kimi K3.1's architecture: DSA sparse attention combined with recurrent Kimi Delta Attention. A single packed cache holds MLA latents, indexer keys and KDA state; the serving work adds token-sharded prefill, exact top-k merging for decode context parallelism, and a fused low-latency decode path.
