It's the output of a research paper; the authors are not trying to build up vLLM, and they probably have no incentive to do so. You can submit a PR, though! It's easier now while the divergence is low, so don't wait. Since there are six authors, I bet you could get help with the inevitable review chores if you just take the step of creating the PR.
And with the help of AI, pointing at AI at this paper and saying "making a vLLM PR from this paper" tends to work surprisingly well, even if you need to nudge it a little bit along the way.
Better performance than TQ and better quality than FP16?
Am I reading this right??
Why this is not a PR for vLLM ?

edit: It might not be clear that it is based on vLLM 0.22, which is the current version: https://github.com/huawei-csl/KVarN/commit/d6290e99098d7426d...; all you have to do is create a diff off it. It's fairly straightforward.
