Summary
The RAC (Reference-Aware Activation Compression) technique addresses the communication overhead in split large language model inference by compressing boundary hidden states transferred between local and cloud components. This approach balances privacy and hardware cost by enabling local execution...

What happened
Large language model (LLM) agents repeatedly process long, privacy-sensitive contexts, while cloud-only deployment exposes user data beyond the trusted endpoint and fully local deployment often requires costly hardware. Split inference offers a middle ground by executing the model head, tail, and tools locally and...
Why it matters
Split inference mitigates privacy risks of cloud-only deployment and hardware demands of fully local models, but data transfer between local and cloud can be costly. RAC reduces this communication burden, making split LLM inference more practical and efficient for privacy-sensitive applications.
