arXiv:2606. 20474v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Context-heavy agents place unusual pressure on the key-value (KV) cache: long prefixes are reused across many short turns, while concurrency determines whether the serving system can keep GPUs utilized.

arXiv:2605. 06675v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models cache all previously computed key-value (KV) pairs during generation, and this KV cache grows linearly with sequence length, making it a primary memory bottleneck for serving.

arXiv:2608. 08081v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large mixture-of-experts (MoE) language models with 26--120 billion parameters exceed the memory capacity of consumer devices through three simultaneous pressures: resident weight matrices, key-value (KV) cache state that grows linearly with context, and dozens of expert sublayers that must be paged on demand.

arXiv:2607. 01065v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) with extended context windows is increasingly constrained by the linear growth of Key-Value (KV) cache memory.

arXiv:2608. 07915v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly read long inputs in the agentic era, from whole documents and codebases to conversations across many turns.
