arXiv:2606. 09079v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conventional LLMs keep the full KV cache loaded during decoding, causing a severe GPU memory bottleneck for ultra-long context serving.

arXiv:2607. 13205v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Attention-based KV cache eviction (H2O and its descendants) compresses the memory-constrained state of a long-context model by ranking tokens on accumulated attention mass, treated here as signal energy, and keeping the heaviest.

arXiv:2606. 20005v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Attention distillation, which trains one attention distribution to match another by minimizing their Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, is widely used in knowledge distillation, model compression, continual learning, and sparse-attention LLM training.
