KV Cache Eviction Formalized with Probabilistic Approach

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have formalized the problem of KV cache eviction in large language models, moving beyond heuristic-based methods. By framing KV eviction probabilistically, the problem is reduced to expectation estimation, which can be approximated through sampling. This approach also enables correction for evicted entries during decoding, a previously overlooked issue. The proposed probabilistic method, coupled with decode-time correction, demonstrates greater robustness across various tasks and achieves competitive performance. AI

    A Probabilistic Interpretation of KV Cache Eviction

    arXiv:2608.28293v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The premise and promise of KV (cache) eviction is simple: higher throughput can be achieved by evicting some entries from the KV cache, at a negligible cost to quality. This holds empirically for many existing methods, though most r…
