arXiv:2608. 03228v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing low rank KV cache methods preserve either model weights or key variance, neither of which directly reflects the attention scores used during inference.

arXiv:2607. 24331v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As the inference phase of Large Language Models (LLMs) requires handling long context windows, the Key-Value (KV) cache initially appears to address this challenge but eventually becomes a significant bottleneck as the context window continues to grow.

arXiv:2607. 15498v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The key-value (KV) cache is the main memory bottleneck in long-context large language model (LLM) inference.

arXiv:2607. 27692v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Top-$K$ sparse attention reduces the cost of Softmax and value aggregation by attending to only a small subset of key--value (KV) entries.

arXiv:2608. 06849v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context LLM inference is bottlenecked by quadratic attention computation and growing KV-cache costs.

arXiv:2510. 07651v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) with extended context windows enable powerful applications but impose significant memory overhead, as caching all key-value (KV) states scales linearly with sequence length and batch size.
