arXiv:2606. 09080v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pruning has emerged as a dominant paradigm for accelerating large language model (LLM) inference, spanning a broad spectrum of methods that remove computation across tokens, layers, heads, dimensions, and attention patterns.
The paper introduces JoLT, a training‑free compressor that jointly allocates rank and precision for key‑value (KV) cache compression in long‑context language models. JoLT treats grouped prefill caches as fourth‑order tensors, applies partial Tucker decomposition along token and feature modes, and uses a rotated low‑bit quantizer for residuals, all governed by a single Lagrangian dual under a global byte constraint. Across five models from four architecture families, JoLT achieves 2–3× compression with less than 0.2% perplexity loss, and near‑lossless retrieval accuracy on LLaMA‑3.1‑8B at 64K context up to 3× compression.

arXiv:2607. 24331v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As the inference phase of Large Language Models (LLMs) requires handling long context windows, the Key-Value (KV) cache initially appears to address this challenge but eventually becomes a significant bottleneck as the context window continues to grow.
arXiv:2607.12550v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The key-value (KV) cache has become the dominant memory cost of transformer inference: it grows with batch size, context length, and depth, a...
