FinCacheServe: Dependency-Consistent Answer Reuse for Cost-Efficient RAG Serving over Mutable Enterprise Documents
On the map: Retrieval-augmented generation → Generation and context integration
Abstract (arXiv)
Retrieval-augmented generation services over mutable enterprise documents repeatedly execute semantically equivalent analysis requests. Answer reuse can remove GPU-bound generation work, yet response caches require dependency consistency when filings, evidence chunks, and tool outputs change. FinCacheServe treats each generated answer as a serving object indexed by enterprise intent and guarded by document versions, evidence fingerprints, tool fingerprints, model identity, and decoding configuration. A vLLM implementation evaluates SEC-derived financial-document workloads with Qwen2.5 models. On a 2,230-request hosted 7B trace, FinCacheServe skips 53.27% of LLM calls with zero observed dependency-stale outputs. Across three hosted 32B operator-suite seeds, it skips 53.31% of 544 requests, compared with 38.97% for versioned semantic caching and 22.43% for grounded-style reuse. Capacity, backend, and SLO replays show oracle-bounded cache management, 100k-entry transactional metadata behavior, and 44.30% lower estimated Wh per dependency-fresh 2s-SLO success than versioned semantic caching.
