#2377 [Enhancement] Reduce conversation checkpoint memory with BF16 snapshots
open · @sumomomomomo · 0 comments · View on GitHub
Description
FP32 conversation checkpoints consume substantial system RAM, limiting how many conversations and resume points can be retained. BF16 storage approximately halves checkpoint-state memory. Benchmarks show 12–29% smaller parked images, faster parking, and a small resume overhead, with no observed regression in explicit needle-recall tests. This provides headroom for more cached conversations or denser checkpoints. Implemented and benchmarked in #2247.
