The paper surveys memory‑centric compression techniques for large language models, framing long‑context handling as a memory‑management problem. It distinguishes compute‑active memory from compute‑inactive memory, and models operations such as writing, offloading, recall, and forgetting as state transitions within an information lifecycle. The authors propose a unified cost model and argue that future research should focus on dynamic, lifecycle‑aware memory management rather than static compression.
arXiv:2607. 10582v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents accumulate heterogeneous context, including system instructions, plans, user turns, retrieved documents, tool outputs, and intermediate reasoning, whose key-value (KV) cache can become a major memory bottleneck.
