arXiv:2608. 08684v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context LLM inference is bottlenecked by KV cache memory, yet distributing a limited cache budget across layers remains challenging.

arXiv:2606. 15157v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: KV cache compression is essential for reducing the memory cost of long-context large language model inference.

arXiv:2602. 08686v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Prefill-only KV compression freezes a token subset at the end of prefill and decodes from it without further eviction.

arXiv:2607. 15456v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Looped, weight-tied Transformers reduce parameters by reusing a block, but decoding still stores a separate K/V cache for every recurrence step.
By James O' Neill, Fergal Reid
arXiv:2607. 27600v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Key-value (KV) cache management through compression and eviction strategies has emerged as an important research direction in recent years.
By Stephen Gould, Anton van den Hengel
arXiv:2604. 21335v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformer inference often requires a large KV cache, especially for long-context language modeling and multimodal generation.

arXiv:2608. 07915v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly read long inputs in the agentic era, from whole documents and codebases to conversations across many turns.

arXiv:2502. 16886v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: To reduce memory consumption during LLM inference, a handful of methods have been proposed for KV cache pruning.

arXiv:2604. 26968v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Key-value (KV) cache memory management is the primary bottleneck limiting throughput and cost-efficiency in large-scale GPU inference serving.

arXiv:2608. 01247v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Query-agnostic KV cache eviction compresses a context once and reuses the resulting cache for arbitrary future queries, but performance can collapse under tight budgets.
By Changwoo Baek, Seungjun Shin, Kyeongbo Kong
arXiv:2606. 24033v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing low-bit KV-cache quantizers often treat each cached key as a flat vector.
By Fengfeng Liang, Yuechen Zhang, Jiaya Jia
arXiv:2606. 01502v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Frontier LLMs increasingly decide what a query attends to with a sparse-attention indexer that picks a few KV-cache blocks per query: attention's unit is now a small, reusable chunk.
