2026-01 Monthly performance summary for llm-d/llm-d. Key deliverable: experimental sidecar tokenization for the precise prefix cache aware system, enabling disaggregated tokenization offloaded to a sidecar service. This increases input processing precision and modularity, setting the stage for scalable tokenization workloads. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: improved architecture separation, potential latency/throughput improvements, and clearer ownership of tokenization logic. Tech stack exercised includes tokenization pipelines and sidecar pattern experimentation, with strong traceability via commit-based changes. Next steps include validating performance gains, measuring impact on input latency, and extending experiments to production-like workloads.
