SHADOWPREFILL prepares the destination model’s KV cache while another model serves an agentic call, using spare capacity for speculative prefill. This can reduce context to process after a model switch. In simulation of six GitHub Copilot coding-trace model pairs, Harvest-SLO+Host reduces switch-call latency by 14.3% and routed token cost by 32.0%; the full design is mainly evaluated in simulation.
