CoinRAG: Contextualized Information Nugget KV Cache Reuse for Long-Context RAG

- What happened
- CoinRAG optimizes retrieval-augmented generation by reusing fine-grained KV cache nuggets instead of full chunks, improving answer quality by 5.3% while reducing latency.
- Why it matters
- Engineers building RAG systems care when they need faster inference on long retrieved contexts without sacrificing answer accuracy on multi-hop questions.
- Watch out
- The method requires two-stage retrieval and offline nugget cache computation; real-world performance depends on how well semantic units align with actual query relevance.
