arXiv:2607. 25266v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have enabled long-form video understanding at a scale that was not previously possible.

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.
By Yu Li, Binxu Li, Tian Lan
arXiv:2602. 10238v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The growing size of Large Language Models (LLMs) makes efficient inference challenging, primarily due to the memory demands of the autoregressive Key-Value (KV) cache.

arXiv:2607. 07033v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large vision-language models incur substantial inference costs because high-resolution inputs introduce thousands of visual tokens, many of which are redundant for a given query.

arXiv:2605. 05225v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts Multimodal Large Language Models (MoE MLLMs) suffer from a significant efficiency bottleneck during Expert Parallelism (EP) inference due to the straggler effect.
By Bo Li, Chuan Wu, Shaolin Zhu
arXiv:2607. 24331v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As the inference phase of Large Language Models (LLMs) requires handling long context windows, the Key-Value (KV) cache initially appears to address this challenge but eventually becomes a significant bottleneck as the context window continues to grow.

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.

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.
