通过分层传输键值缓存，实现长文本推理的低延迟高精度。

Long-context inference is increasingly common in large language model (LLM) serving, driven by retrieval-augmented generation and agentic systems. In disaggregated inference, these workloads require transferring large Key-Value (KV) caches across the network, where decoding cannot begin until the transfer completes. Recent KV quantization techniques reduce data volume and alleviate this bottleneck, but existing schemes fail to achieve both low network-exposed latency and high inference accuracy. We challenge the assumption that the KV cache is an indivisible unit that must be fully received before use. We leverage the observation that different bits in the KV cache contribute unequally to attention computation and inference precision: the most significant bits capture the coarse structure of attention and the least significant bits refine precision. This property enables partial use of the KV cache during decoding. We present Lynx, a system that enables progressive, split-stream KV transfer by partitioning the KV cache into a high-priority Anchor stream carrying the most significant bits and a low-priority Residual stream carrying remaining precision. Decoding begins upon receipt of the Anchor stream and proceeds speculatively while the Residual stream is transferred concurrently, followed by verification that ensures equivalence to higher-precision decoding. Across multiple models and serving workloads, Lynx achieves Time-to-First-Token (TTFT) comparable to aggressive 4-bit KV quantization, while matching the accuracy of high-precision (BF16) inference, improving TTFT over standard 8-bit KV quantization by up to $1.43\times$ and improving accuracy over state-of-the-art by up to $5.1\%$.
