arXiv:2606. 06467v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context inference in modern LLMs is increasingly constrained by decoding efficiency, especially in reasoning-heavy settings where models generate long intermediate chains of thought.

arXiv:2608. 19662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic language models repeatedly encode tool and skill schemas that recur across requests in different combinations and orders, preventing standard prefix caching from reusing their key--value (KV) states.

Retrieval-augmented and agentic workloads repeatedly prefill recurring predictable structured inputs (which we call "spans") such as documents and code files. Yet, prefix caching in engines such as vLLM cannot reuse their KV entries unless they share identical prefixes with another request, while Position-Independent Caching (PIC) implementations within production-grade inference servers typically either require substantial server code changes or keep KV state outside the server, incurring host-to-device transfer overhead.

GroupKV is a lightweight hierarchical KV cache management system designed for long‑context diffusion large language model (dLLM) inference. It partitions the context into contiguous groups and uses coarse‑to‑fine sparse selection, cross‑layer consistency for predictive prefetching, and a staleness correction mechanism to keep the cache coherent amid dynamic KV updates. The approach also incorporates streaming prefill to lower peak memory usage, achieving up to 48× longer serviceable context, 3.73× faster inference in offload‑based settings, and competitive task accuracy.

KVMem is a KV-context virtualization system that allows large language model agents to maintain workspaces exceeding both GPU key‑value capacity and the model’s native context window. It stores overflowed history as paged KV state across GPU memory, host memory, and NVMe, using lightweight, model‑native attention‑space indexes to retrieve relevant historical blocks. Evaluations on long‑context agent benchmarks show that KVMem improves task utility and inference efficiency, enabling up to one million‑token workspaces on consumer GPUs and achieving interactive responsiveness in local deployments.

GrowPage is an on‑demand key–value (KV) budgeting framework designed to improve large language model (LLM) reasoning serving. It treats KV capacity as a runtime resource, using lightweight dual‑timescale query summaries to track recent and long‑term attention patterns and estimate demand evolution. At each capacity boundary, GrowPage either compresses KV states within the current allocation or acquires an additional physical page, integrating with PagedAttention’s page‑level memory abstraction to maintain continuous batching and prefix caching.
