Epiphany-Aware KV Cache Eviction Without the Attention Matrix

arXiv:2606. 26472v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As reasoning models emit chains of thought tens of thousands of tokens long, KV cache increasingly becomes a deployment bottleneck.

IndexMem: Learned KV-Cache Eviction with Latent Memory for Long-Context 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.

Polestar: Drift-Aware Cache Calibration and Token Commitment for Efficient Inference of Diffusion LLMs

arXiv:2607. 14107v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The inference efficiency of diffusion large language models (dLLMs) is constrained by two challenges: bidirectional attention precludes efficient KV-cache reuse, while increasing decoding parallelism with static confidence thresholds can compromise generation quality.
