arXiv:2609.11744v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prefix caching can reduce the time to first token (TTFT) of long-context LLM requests by reusing previously computed key-value (KV) states, but for short prefixes or fast GPUs, recomputation can be faster than loading from an exte…
arXiv:2604.11501v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Rank reduction discards dimensions; quantization keeps them at lower precision. Comparing the two requires a choice of what compression should preserve. For attention values, we study reconstruction of the attention output…

arXiv:2609.07966v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Key--value (KV) cache compression is an effective way to reduce the memory overhead of large language model (LLM) inference, particularly for long-context workloads. However, existing compression methods make different trade-offs am…

arXiv:2609.09768v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, a large number of retrieved chunks are concatenated to form the input context so that users can receive high-quality responses based on external knowledge. As a result, the input co…
arXiv:2609.06663v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) excel in diverse tasks, their scalability remains limited by the memory and computational overhead of KV cache storage. Recent KV cache eviction approaches incorporate a cosine sim…
arXiv:2609.10266v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM serving systems already reuse KV caches, but only when the reused text sits at the very start of the prompt. Two growing workloads break this condition: a retrieval-augmented generation server assembles a different set of retrie…
arXiv:2609.04263v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-bit key--value (KV) caches reduce the memory required for autoregressive decoding, but the resulting quality loss depends on the model and quantizer. We keep the quantizer fixed and distill the floating-cache model's behavior …

arXiv:2609.04971v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) achieve superior problem-solving through extended Chain-of-Thought (CoT) generation, but the resulting key-value (KV) cache grows linearly with sequence length and creates severe memory bottlenecks, o…

arXiv:2609.03949v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The problem. A long-lived KV cache must be compressed before the queries that will read it exist; selection by observed attention (H2O, SnapKV) collapses there (0.00-0.33 needle retrieval on a NoPE MLA model), because a token's im…
arXiv:2609.03430v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models achieve superior performance on tasks that require extended reasoning, but long chains of thought make the KV cache a severe memory bottleneck. Existing KV cache compression methods share one paradigm: score ea…
BeaconKV improves memory efficiency for long reasoning traces by using compact beacon queries to predict which past key-value pairs will be revisited, reducing cache size without sacrificing accuracy.
Large language models (LLMs) face severe memory bottlenecks in long-context inference due to the linearly growing size of key-value (KV) caches. Existing KV cache compression techniques typically rely on simple heuristics, overlooking the distinct functional roles of different at…
Random eviction of reasoning tokens matches selective KV cache compression because reasoning traces are self-protecting through redundancy, making scoring unnecessary once prompts are preserved.
arXiv:2609.00891v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sharing context between LLMs in a multi-model system requires the receiving model to prefill the shared prefix because KV caches are model-specific. Recent closed-form cross-model KV transfer, hereafter Full-Head Mapping, avoids thi…

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…
arXiv:2609.11582v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Omni-modal large language models (Omni-LLMs) take in audio, video and text together, their KV cache memory cost grows. KV cache quantization is the de facto approach in text-only LLMs, but its application to Omni-LLMs remains une…
