arXiv:2606. 01563v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive decoding in Transformer-based language models relies on the KV cache, whose memory footprint grows linearly with sequence length and becomes the primary bottleneck for long-context 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.
arXiv:2605. 25475v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly expected to operate over long contexts, yet standard softmax attention incurs a KV cache that grows linearly with sequence length, quickly becoming the bottleneck for long context inference.
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. Existing KV cache eviction methods typically apply heuristic token scoring over all heads in GQA-based LLMs.
arXiv:2606. 29563v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) excel at complex tasks like question answering and summarization, thanks to their ability to handle long-context inputs.
arXiv:2608.23843v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context inference in large language models (LLMs) is increasingly limited by the memory required for the key-value (KV) cache. KV cache compressio...
The paper introduces GRKV, a training‑free method for compressing the key‑value cache in long‑context large language models. GRKV uses ridge‑regression to redistribute information from evicted tokens to retained ones, aiming to minimize the difference between compressed‑cache and full‑cache attention outputs. Experiments on LongBench and RULER show that GRKV improves overall performance with minimal overhead compared to other merging methods.
arXiv:2608.21362v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) incur high prefill latency because key-value (KV) tensors must be recomputed for each request. Existing...
arXiv:2605. 18856v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Long-context inference is increasingly constrained by the KV cache: resident memory grows with context length, and decoding becomes limited by repeated High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) streaming rather than arithmetic.
arXiv:2607. 15498v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The key-value (KV) cache is the main memory bottleneck in long-context large language model (LLM) inference.
