STaR-KV: Spatio-Temporal Adaptive Re-weighting for KV Cache Compression in GUI Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2606. 01790v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-model-based graphical user interface (GUI) agents have shown broad automation capabilities, yet deployment is bottlenecked by a key-value (KV) cache that grows linearly with interaction steps.

VisCache: Visual KV Cache Pruning for Efficient Vision Large Language Model Inference

VisCache introduces a two-stage, plug‑and‑play framework for pruning visual key‑value caches in Vision Large Language Models without retraining. The first stage filters out temporally redundant keyframes, while the second stage, PruneKV, applies a parabolic layer‑wise budget and asymmetric update to selectively prune keys and fuse values, preserving essential context. Experiments show up to 2.35× speedup and significant memory savings with only 19–28% of the original cache retained, outperforming existing baselines.

End-to-End Context Compression at Scale

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.

FreqDepthKV: Frequency-Guided Depth Sharing for Robust KV Cache Compression in Long-Context LLM Inference

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.
