arXiv:2605.23071v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly rely on long-context processing, but expanding context windows introduces substantial computational and financial costs. Existing context reduction approaches, including retrieval and memory compression methods, are typically evaluated using performance and efficiency metrics independently, limiting systematic comparison and deployment-aware decision-making. This paper introduces The Efficiency Frontier, a unified framework for cost-performance optimization in LLM context management. The framework models
