Weka's new storage platform caches 100% of a model's pre-calculated tokens, so it never has to redo the work

GPU memory is the most expensive resource in production AI, and it's also the one running out fastest. Long context windows and multi-turn conversations force AI models to repeatedly recompute information they've already processed, consuming GPU memory and compute that could otherwise serve additional users or
