arXiv:2608. 07001v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) process increasingly long contexts, KV cache storage and repeated access have become a major bottleneck.

arXiv:2607. 01520v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformer inference on long sequences is expensive because softmax attention repeatedly reads from a large KV cache.

arXiv:2608. 08684v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context LLM inference is bottlenecked by KV cache memory, yet distributing a limited cache budget across layers remains challenging.

arXiv:2604. 21335v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformer inference often requires a large KV cache, especially for long-context language modeling and multimodal generation.

arXiv:2607. 06519v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context LLM inference is increasingly limited by the memory and bandwidth cost of KV caches, yet aggressive compression can remove the layer-specific evidence needed for retrieval and multi-step reasoning.

arXiv:2502. 16886v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: To reduce memory consumption during LLM inference, a handful of methods have been proposed for KV cache pruning.
