The Hidden Cost of Reading

Enterprise LLM deployments spend most of their GPU compute on prefill — processing context before generating a single output token.

60-80%
of GPU time spent on prefill, not generation
35s+
to process a single 128K-token document
O(L²)
attention cost scales quadratically

Fast Read, Standard Write

CDLaC compresses context during ingestion, reducing attention cost by 4x. When it's time to generate, we restore full resolution for quality output.

Standard: [L tokens] → [L² attention] → [output]
CDLaC:    [L tokens] → [L/2 compressed] → [(L/2)² attention] → [restore] → [output]
