arXiv:2606. 07577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Audio-visual large language models (LLMs) hold strong promise for long-form video understanding, yet their long-video inference is fundamentally limited by the linear growth of video tokens and key-value (KV) caches.

Long-context language model inference is bottlenecked by memory, as the KV cache grows with context length. Recent techniques to compress the KV cache fall short: they either degrade model quality substantially or require considerable time and compute to compress a single long prompt.

The paper introduces acoustic-to-text KV compression for full‑duplex speech models, converting acoustic key‑value states into compact textual memory during listening‑time slack. When the KV cache exceeds a target budget, older acoustic states are evicted while transcripts and recent acoustic context are retained. Experiments on ten‑minute LongSpeech sessions show a 64.6% reduction in peak streaming KV‑cache size and improved transcription, temporal question answering, and summarization, with comparable pause‑handling, turn‑taking, and interruption performance in Full‑Duplex‑Bench.
