KV cache: the new frontier of on-premise LLM infrastructure

Astera Labs' move shifts attention from compute to memory. The KV cache, critical for agentic workloads, becomes a physical constraint affecting parallelism, latency, and TCO. For self-hosted and on-premise deployments, memory hierarchy and data movement become primary selection criteria.
