arXiv:2604. 21335v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformer inference often requires a large KV cache, especially for long-context language modeling and multimodal generation.
By Wei Jiang, Wei Wang
arXiv:2608. 03276v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context inference with large language models is constrained by the linear growth of the key-value cache to sequence length.

arXiv:2606. 02643v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-enhanced LLM systems, while powerful, introduce substantial inference costs due to the inclusion of an extra multi-stage pipeline that dynamically retrieves and synthesizes information from external knowledge sources.
By Chengliang Liu, Liangbo Ning, Yujuan Ding, Wenqi Fan
arXiv:2606. 17034v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-hoc context erasing over the KV cache is challenging because a local edit has a global consequence: once a span has been processed, its influence propagates into the cached states of all subsequent tokens.
