Cut First‑Token Latency by 3.25×: Introducing HYPIC for Position‑Independent Caching in Hybrid‑Attention LLMs

HYPIC combines position‑independent caching with hybrid‑attention LLMs, reducing first‑token latency by 3.25× and sustaining QPS by 1.66× while keeping quality loss under 2 points, through a segment‑cumulative transition operator, a seam‑window fix for full‑attention layers, and segment‑parallel execution.
