arXiv:2608. 09412v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: KV-cache compression reduces long-context memory, but aggregate task scores reveal neither which correct executions fail nor why.

arXiv:2608. 07915v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly read long inputs in the agentic era, from whole documents and codebases to conversations across many turns.

arXiv:2607. 20538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context Transformer inference increasingly relies on KV-cache compression or quantization.

arXiv:2606. 15157v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: KV cache compression is essential for reducing the memory cost of long-context large language model inference.

arXiv:2607. 01065v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) with extended context windows is increasingly constrained by the linear growth of Key-Value (KV) cache memory.

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

arXiv:2608. 08684v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context LLM inference is bottlenecked by KV cache memory, yet distributing a limited cache budget across layers remains challenging.

arXiv:2606. 03458v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time scaling is a powerful approach to obtain better reasoning in large language models, but it becomes memory-bottlenecked during long-horizon decoding, as the KV-cache grows.

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:2606. 08382v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-rank projection has emerged as a promising approach for compressing the KV cache by exploiting hidden-dimension redundancy.

arXiv:2505. 18231v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) inference is typically memory-intensive, especially when processing large batch sizes and long sequences, due to the large size of key-value (KV) cache.
By Donghyun Son, Euntae Choi, Sungjoo Yoo
arXiv:2602. 08686v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Prefill-only KV compression freezes a token subset at the end of prefill and decodes from it without further eviction.
