Lynx: Progressive Speculative Quantization for accelerating KV Transfer in Long-Context Inference

arXiv:2607.01831v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context inference is increasingly common in large language model (LLM) serving, driven by retrieval-augmented generation and agentic systems. In disaggregated inference, these workloads require transferring large Key-Value (KV) caches across the network, where decoding cannot begin until the transfer completes. Recent KV quantization techniques reduce data volume and alleviate this bottleneck, but existing schemes fail to achieve both low network-exposed latency and high inference accuracy. We challenge the assumption that the KV cache is
