Founder Sietse Schelpe tells TechRadar Pro no special hardware is needed, but the paper credits most of the 14x speedup to Blaise, a retrieval component, not SSD loading

LMCache, Nvidia Dynamo and CMX, WEKA and Phison already persist KV cache to storage; Galahad's edge is exact, fail-closed reuse in…
