KV Cache Compression Through the Lens of Transform Coding
arXiv:2608. 14191v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The key-value (KV) cache stores information from past tokens and is a major memory bottleneck in long-context inference.
arXiv:2607. 20538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context Transformer inference increasingly relies on KV-cache compression or quantization.

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: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. 12550v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The key-value (KV) cache has become the dominant memory cost of transformer inference.
arXiv:2608. 04074v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context LLM decoding reads the key-value (KV) cache at every step.
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. 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.
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.
arXiv:2608. 12239v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Use this plain-text version for the arXiv abstract field: Learned image compression (LIC) models achieve strong rate-distortion performance but are hindered by high computational complexity and encoding-decoding mismatches across heterogeneous hardware platforms.
arXiv:2601. 22002v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformers achieve superior performance on many tasks, but impose heavy compute and memory requirements during inference.
arXiv:2607. 15456v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Looped, weight-tied Transformers reduce parameters by reusing a block, but decoding still stores a separate K/V cache for every recurrence step.
arXiv:2606. 24033v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing low-bit KV-cache quantizers often treat each cached key as a flat vector.
