Prefix caching in vLLM under multi-tenant agent traffic
Nexus Labs implemented prefix caching in vLLM to improve latency for their multi-tenant agent workloads. The results showed a significant reduction in time-to-first-token (TTFT) for one tenant, while another tenant faced challenges due to their dynamic prompt structure. Adjustments were made to optimize performance, leading to improved efficiency across the board.
- ▪Prefix caching in vLLM reduced TTFT from 480ms to 110ms for Tenant A.
- ▪Tenant B's dynamic prompt structure initially resulted in a low cache hit rate of 0.3%.
- ▪After refactoring, Tenant B improved their TTFT from 510ms to 145ms with an 87% hit rate.

The split wasn't about traffic volume. It was about how each team templated their system prompts. The setup Our fine-tuning team serves 14 enterprise agents through a shared inference cluster.
