arXiv:2607. 14107v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The inference efficiency of diffusion large language models (dLLMs) is constrained by two challenges: bidirectional attention precludes efficient KV-cache reuse, while increasing decoding parallelism with static confidence thresholds can compromise generation quality.

Long-context language model inference is bottlenecked by memory, as the KV cache grows with context length. Recent techniques to compress the KV cache fall short: they either degrade model quality substantially or require considerable time and compute to compress a single long prompt.

SGD-KV is a head‑aware framework for compressing key‑value caches in large language models. It uses a chunk‑summarization diagnostic task to identify attention heads that specialize in hierarchical information aggregation, allowing the KV cache budget to be allocated based on each head’s summarization score. Experiments on Qwen2.5‑7B‑1M and Qwen3‑32B show state‑of‑the‑art performance on up to 1M‑token contexts while cutting KV cache memory usage by up to 75%.
