Leyline: KV Cache Directives for Agentic Inference

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2606. 01065v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern KV cache management assumes the chatbot workload: prompts arrive once and the cache grows append-only, so prefix caching and forward-only eviction are correct by construction.

CacheReforge: Bounded Recovery for Stale KV Caches under Evolving Adapters

CacheReforge is a method for recovering stale key‑value (KV) caches in large language models when lightweight adapters evolve. It represents stale caches as layer‑wise mixed‑version objects and uses adapter anchors, sensitivity calibration, drift accumulation, and restart boundaries to decide between direct reuse, bounded recomputation, or full suffix recovery. Experiments on Qwen2.5 models with continual LoRA updates show a 92.4% reduction in mean KL divergence while only recomputing 5.44% of layers and cutting cache‑maintenance time by 93.2% compared to full prefill.
