AFRICA JUST BECAME THE FIRST CONTINENT TO GET THE NEW TESLA ROADSTER.
NO SHOWROOM. A SHIPPING CONTAINER AND A STEEL RAMP.
Tesla has almost no official stores across Africa.
That never stopped anyone.
The car rolls out of the container backwards.
The new owner steers it down 2 metal rails.
America reserved it first.
Somebody else might drive it first.
Made with AI. The real first delivery is due in 2028.
this is f**king insane.
this 23 year old used Claude to reverse engineer a kids channel with 28.5M subscribers.
then reportedly made $10K from YouTube Shorts.
he didn't copy individual videos.
he studied the formula behind them:
→ recurring characters
→ simple stories
→ bright visuals
→ fast pacing
→ formats already proven to generate massive views
then he built an AI production engine around those patterns.
Claude analyzes the channel, identifies repeatable ideas, and writes original scripts.
connected AI tools handle the rest:
→ characters → voices → music → animation → final assembly
his involvement?
almost nothing.
he chooses the direction, approves the strongest concepts, and lets the system handle the repetitive production.
one prompt → one finished Short.
and because the workflow is reusable, he can keep producing without rebuilding everything from scratch.
the original channel reached 28.5M subscribers across 798 uploads.
he didn't copy one cartoon.
he reverse engineered the machine that could produce an entire channel.
that's the real AI advantage.
How do LLMs handle GBs of KV cache in production?
(a popular technical LLM interview question)
At scale, KV cache becomes a storage system.
Every attention layer creates KV tensors while processing a prompt.
During generation, the model reads this state instead of processing the entire sequence again for every new token.
For a single request, this is temporary GPU data.
But when multiple requests and inference workers reuse the same prompt prefix, the cached data must remain available after the original request finishes.
It may even need to survive after the engine that created it restarts.
So a cache hit now requires more than identifying matching tokens.
The system must find the relevant blocks, bring them back into GPU memory, remove old blocks when storage fills, and let multiple workers reuse the same data.
Consider a request that shares 80% of its prompt with an earlier request.
The matching tensors may already be in GPU memory. Otherwise, the system could retrieve them from CPU memory, a local SSD, or remote storage.
The model then processes only the uncached 20%. It stores the newly created tensors so later requests can reuse them.
This involves moving large amounts of data between memory and storage while the GPU is also generating tokens.
Inference engines such as vLLM are mainly designed to schedule requests and run the model. Cache management requires a different set of operations around storage, movement, and cleanup.
The solution is actually open-source and implemented in the LMCache package.
It runs KV cache management as a standalone service beside the inference engine.
The engine requests the required blocks, while LMCache finds them, moves them into the right memory, and stores new blocks afterward.
LMCache uses CUDA IPC, a mechanism that lets separate processes access the same GPU memory. This avoids copying the full cached tensors through ordinary messages between the two processes.
Cached blocks can also move between GPU memory, CPU memory, local storage, and remote storage. On a hit, the inference engine restores the reusable blocks and processes only the missing tokens.
Multiple vLLM instances on the same machine can share one LMCache service. Cache storage can scale separately, and restarting an inference worker does not automatically remove the saved cache.
The LMCache paper reports up to 15x higher throughput when combining it with vLLM across the evaluated workloads.
The visual below traces one prompt through the inference engine, cache service, shared GPU memory, and storage levels.
