Researchers have developed Nexus Sampling, a novel method for managing KV cache eviction in large language models, particularly for long-context and agentic workloads. This training-free approach pairs Nexus scoring with weighted reservoir sampling to retain important tokens that might otherwise be lost through deterministic top-K selection. Nexus Sampling theoretically outperforms traditional methods in preserving subtly important tokens and empirically achieves performance comparable to dense attention on benchmarks like LongBench, while significantly reducing cache memory usage.
