Benchmarking KV-Cache Optimizations across Task Quality and System Performance for Long-Context Serving

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.

FreqDepthKV: Frequency-Guided Depth Sharing for Robust KV Cache Compression in Long-Context LLM Inference

arXiv:2607. 06519v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context LLM inference is increasingly limited by the memory and bandwidth cost of KV caches, yet aggressive compression can remove the layer-specific evidence needed for retrieval and multi-step reasoning.

CompressKV: Semantic-Retrieval-Guided KV-Cache Compression for Resource-Efficient Long-Context LLM Inference

arXiv:2606. 24467v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 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.

DepthWeave-KV: Token-Adaptive Cross-Layer Residual Factorization for Long-Context KV Cache Compression

arXiv:2607. 06523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context language model inference is increasingly limited by the memory bandwidth and capacity required to store key-value caches, yet existing compression methods often apply uniform budgets across layers or tokens and degrade retrieval when lexical cues and semantic states require different preservation.

The risk of KV cache compression

arXiv:2607. 01520v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformer inference on long sequences is expensive because softmax attention repeatedly reads from a large KV cache.
