About the project

LLM serving platform built on a KVCache-centric disaggregated architecture: separates prefill and decode and transfers KV cache between nodes over RDMA. Powers Kimi in production at Moonshot AI.

Useful for
  • Deploy PD-disaggregated vLLM or SGLang inference with KV cache transfer via Mooncake
  • Speed up weight updates of a large model across thousands of GPUs using P2P Store and RDMA
  • Build a distributed KV cache pool shared across inference instances

1.7 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 2, 2026, 21:46 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

01225August 5, 2026November 2, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 00:13–21:40: 6946 → 6953 stars (+7). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +8 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 73. +33% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
