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.

CompressKV: Semantic-Retrieval-Guided KV-Cache Compression for Resource-Efficient Long-Context LLM Inference

arXiv:2606. 24467v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context large language model (LLM) inference is increasingly constrained by the memory footprint and decoding cost of key-value (KV) caches, limiting sustainable deployment on resource-constrained hardware.

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.

MILO: Efficient Many-shot In-Context Learning with Block-wise Low-rank Compression

MILO is a compression framework that reduces the key-value cache memory used in many-shot in-context learning by applying block-wise low-rank compression. It dynamically allocates rank budgets to blocks based on information entropy, preserving important information while aggressively compressing redundant parts. Experiments on Qwen2.5 models show up to a 50% reduction in KV cache memory and a 1.8× throughput improvement with negligible performance loss on classification and reasoning tasks.
