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.

The paper introduces ACache, an affix-oriented cache reuse mechanism for Diffusion Large Language Models (DLLMs). ACache identifies a small set of critical affix tokens, called Anchor Tokens, and selectively recomputes their key-value states while reusing the rest of the affix cache. Experiments on Fast-dLLM and Nano-vLLM show that recomputing about 20% of affix tokens restores accuracy and can reduce recompute latency by up to 55.7% while improving throughput by up to 1.68×.

The paper introduces an attack that reconstructs text generated by locally hosted large language models by monitoring CPU cache activity during detokenization. It uses Flush+Reload on shared tokenizer code to time decoding, then Prime+Probe to capture token‑dependent cache traces, followed by a clustering‑and‑language‑model pipeline to recover the output text. The method is evaluated across various datasets, hardware, inference frameworks, and model families, successfully retrieving semantically accurate outputs from real‑world local LLM deployments, including agentic systems.
