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
Long-context large language model (LLM) inference is increasingly constrained by the memory footprint and decoding cost of key-value (KV) caches, limiting sustainable deployment on resource-constrained hardware. Existing KV cache eviction methods typically apply heuristic token scoring over all heads in GQA-based LLMs.
arXiv:2608. 08878v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance across many tasks, but their Key-Value (KV) cache grows linearly with sequence length, creating a severe memory bottleneck for long-context inference.

arXiv:2606. 23961v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context and agentic LLM workloads push the KV cache past any fixed memory budget, forcing the inference stack to permanently evict tokens at every step of a continuous-inference stream.

arXiv:2605. 25475v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly expected to operate over long contexts, yet standard softmax attention incurs a KV cache that grows linearly with sequence length, quickly becoming the bottleneck for long context inference.
