A robust multi-agent control plane splits planning, policy, communication, memory, observability, evaluation, and governance into separate building blocks — which Microsoft’s reference architecture and A2A both position as the scalable way to coordinate specialized agents — but the model deliberately stays framework-agnostic and caps connected-agent depth to avoid uncontrolled agent trees.

By utilizing the Quantized Johnson-Lindenstrauss (QJL) transform for KV cache compression, engineers can achieve a 5x reduction in VRAM utilization for long-context LLM inference without the overhead of storing traditional quantization constants, provided the implementation is tuned for the specific hardware-native CUDA kernel constraints.

By prioritizing 4-bit quantization (e.g., GPTQ/AWQ) over structured pruning, engineers can achieve a 4x reduction in VRAM footprint with minimal perplexity degradation, whereas structured pruning often incurs higher engineering overhead due to device-specific sparse-matrix arithmetic constraints.

By decoupling compute-bound prefill from memory-bound decode using llm-d architectures, engineers can achieve up to 4.5x improvement in goodput and significantly lower P99 TTFT, provided they account for the added network latency of KV-cache serialization over high-speed interconnects like EFA.

SparseGPT and Wanda usually preserve perplexity better than structured pruning at the same sparsity, but structured pruning is the only one that reliably maps to hardware speedups without specialized kernels — so the real decision is quality retention vs deployable acceleration, not sparsity percentage alone.

Response-based KD only transfers output probabilities, while feature-based KD adds hidden-state alignment through paired layers and projection heads — that richer supervision can preserve internal representations better, but it requires access to teacher activations and careful layer matching to avoid instability.
