Multi-turn Large Language Model (LLM) serving is critical for consistent user experiences, yet the linear growth of the Key-Value (KV) cache imposes significant pressure on GPU memory and bandwidth. Non-uniform KV compression effectively preserves more information by considering the individual importance of each KV cache.
arXiv:2606. 06302v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-turn LLM serving accumulates dialogue history whose Key-Value (KV) cache grows with every turn and every user, quickly exceeding the model weights themselves and making memory -- not compute -- the binding constraint on throughput.

arXiv:2606. 11257v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines are compute-intensive, combining embedding, retrieval, reranking, and large language model (LLM) generation.

Large language models are increasingly deployed with persistent personalized context, such as accumulated memory profiles or long conversation histories, that is shared across a user's many requests. Production memory systems (e.
arXiv:2607. 05399v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model serving is increasingly limited by KV-cache growth under long-context workloads, yet existing KV-cache compression techniques are difficult to compare because they were evaluated on different models, tasks, budgets, and serving stacks.

arXiv:2607. 00760v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context LLM services now sustain prompts with hundreds of thousands to millions of tokens, making the key-value (KV) cache a first-order serving cost.

arXiv:2608. 03487v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), which augments large language model (LLM) generation with information retrieved from databases, has become a widely used approach for knowledge-intensive applications.

arXiv:2606. 02581v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) faces a fundamental three-way tension: deeper retrieval improves factual grounding but inflates token costs and end-to-end latency.
