Researchers have developed AgentKV, a new method for managing KV cache in agentic Large Language Models (LLMs). AgentKV addresses the issue that traditional KV eviction methods, which rely on recent tokens, fail to account for the diverse query patterns in agentic LLMs across different phases like thinking, acting, and tool use. By maintaining separate query buffers for each phase, AgentKV more effectively scores and retains relevant cached keys. This approach leads to improved task performance and increased output-token throughput compared to existing methods like R-KV and Tri-attention, and even surpasses full-KV serving in some scenarios.
