Enable Traditional LLMs to Use DeepSeek’s Multi‑Head Latent Attention Without Retraining

The paper introduces MHA2MLA, a data‑efficient fine‑tuning framework that converts pre‑trained multi‑head attention LLMs to DeepSeek’s Multi‑Head Latent Attention architecture, achieving up to 92% KV‑cache compression with less than 0.5% performance loss on long‑context tasks.
