The authors introduce HiState, a cache system for hybrid language models that combines attention caches with recurrent checkpoints. It keeps key–value data in faster memory and checkpoints on SSD, using adaptive placement and eviction to balance reuse and storage. On coding-agent traces using Qwen3.5-9B on one H100, it achieves up to 5.73× and 5.44× p99 TTFT speedups over vLLM-Marconi and SGLang-HiCache.
