Multi-turn LLM agents interleave model calls with external tool invocations, shifting serving from stateless request processing to stateful program execution. Serving these workloads requires scheduling, KV-cache management, and routing policies that use program-level context, including turn dependencies, tool-induced gaps, and reusable KV state.

arXiv:2608. 19662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic language models repeatedly encode tool and skill schemas that recur across requests in different combinations and orders, preventing standard prefix caching from reusing their key--value (KV) states.

arXiv:2602. 01053v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Role specialization in multi-LLM agent systems is often realized via multi-LoRA, where agents share a pretrained backbone and differ only by lightweight adapters.

TOPAS is a Task‑Oriented Prefix‑Aware Scheduler designed for multi‑agent large language model serving. It jointly decides which agent prefixes to retain in a shared key‑value cache and which requests to schedule, balancing the reduction of each task’s longest remaining service path against the benefit of downstream prefix reuse while accounting for movement and preemption costs. Experiments on synthetic DAGs and MetaGPT software‑development workflows show that TOPAS can reduce mean and p99 job completion times by up to 39.8%/49.4% and 22.0%/26.6% respectively compared to the best baselines.

ActKV is a new KV cache compression framework designed for agentic large language model (LLM) inference. It prioritizes cache entries that contribute to action generation, using action-oriented eviction, confidence-driven budget allocation, and page-aware compression to reduce memory usage while preserving accuracy. In long-trace tasks, ActKV retains 98.53% of FullKV’s accuracy using only 25.98% of its peak memory and boosts token and task throughput by 3.97× and 3.58×, respectively.

arXiv:2606. 01065v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern KV cache management assumes the chatbot workload: prompts arrive once and the cache grows append-only, so prefix caching and forward-only eviction are correct by construction.
