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.

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:2607. 10582v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents accumulate heterogeneous context, including system instructions, plans, user turns, retrieved documents, tool outputs, and intermediate reasoning, whose key-value (KV) cache can become a major memory bottleneck.

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.
