Coverage-Driven KV Cache Eviction for Efficient and Improved Inference of LLM

arXiv:2606.29563v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) excel at complex tasks like question answering and summarization, thanks to their ability to handle long-context inputs. However, deploying LLMs is costly, not only due to the high computational demands of quadratic complexity of self-attention and auto-regressive generation, but also because of the significant memory overhead required for storing the key-value (KV) cache during inference. To reduce the memory cost, existing KV-cache eviction strategies leverage the sparsity in attention to selectively store a subse
