arXiv:2606. 17872v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) outperform earlier architectures on generative inference and long-context tasks, but their large size introduces significant challenges in memory usage, energy cost, and on-device deployment.
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.
arXiv:2607. 07144v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The key-value (KV) cache dominates the memory cost of long-context autoregressive inference, and a growing body of work compresses it through quantization, eviction, or offloading.
arXiv:2607. 27600v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Key-value (KV) cache management through compression and eviction strategies has emerged as an important research direction in recent years.
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. Existing KV cache eviction methods typically apply heuristic token scoring over all heads in GQA-based LLMs.
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.
