llama.cpp Pull Request Proposes GPU Cache for Host-Memory MoE Experts
October 7, 2026
A new pull request for llama.cpp introduces a GPU cache mechanism for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models. This allows experts stored in host memory to be cached on the GPU, potentially reducing latency for models that exceed available VRAM.
HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU
●
builderYou can run larger MoE models more efficiently on hardware with limited VRAM.
●
researcherThis provides a more practical implementation for testing MoE scaling on consumer hardware.
