arXiv:2606.05868v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) drive significant financial innovations, yet their high-concurrency deployment is severely bottlenecked by KV cache memory overhead, which inflates infrastructure costs and throttles scalability. To address this, we propose YouZhi-LLM, a highly efficient financial LLM empowered by a comprehensive structural transition and training pipeline natively built on the Huawei Ascend ecosystem. At its algorithmic core, YouZhi-LLM features a layer-adaptive GQA-to-MLA transition framework that dynamically assigns per-layer FreqF
The increasing demand for LLMs in financial services is creating urgent pressure to optimize their deployment for high concurrency and cost efficiency, especially for regions aiming for AI self-sufficiency.
This breakthrough indicates significant progress in making LLMs more scalable and affordable for industry-specific applications, potentially accelerating AI adoption in finance and reducing reliance on existing, less optimized solutions.
The ability to deploy high-concurrency LLMs efficiently will lower operational costs and broaden access to advanced AI for financial institutions, particularly those operating within the Huawei Ascend ecosystem.
