Long chain-of-thought (CoT) trajectories in large language model (LLM) reasoning cause severe inference bottlenecks due to rapid key-value (KV) cache growth. Current decoding-time compression methods mitigate this issue via token eviction, but typically assume a uniform budget distribution across all layers and heads.
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) excel on complex tasks through long chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, but their lengthy intermediate steps cause severe overthinking that inflates inference cost. KV-cache compression is a common solution, yet existing reasoning-oriented methods apply a uniform policy across the trajectory and judge compression only by what it removes from the cache.

GrowPage is an on‑demand key–value (KV) budgeting framework designed to improve large language model (LLM) reasoning serving. It treats KV capacity as a runtime resource, using lightweight dual‑timescale query summaries to track recent and long‑term attention patterns and estimate demand evolution. At each capacity boundary, GrowPage either compresses KV states within the current allocation or acquires an additional physical page, integrating with PagedAttention’s page‑level memory abstraction to maintain continuous batching and prefix caching.

BeaconKV is a training‑free key‑value cache compression technique for Large Reasoning Models that uses beacon queries—compact representatives of query clusters—to predict which KV pairs will be revisited during long‑horizon reasoning. By focusing on Thought Revisiting Tokens that re‑attend distant context, BeaconKV reduces memory usage up to 5.8× and improves throughput by over 4.3× while largely preserving cache accuracy across multiple open‑source LRMs and reasoning benchmarks.
