  • kv_cache

    (Tensor) –

    KV cache tensor with different possible shapes: - NHD: [num_blocks, 2, block_size, num_kv_heads, head_size] - HND: [num_blocks, 2, num_kv_heads, block_size, head_size]

  • attn_metadata

    (FlashInferMetadata) –

    Metadata for attention.

Returns: shape = [num_tokens, num_heads * head_size]
