What Matters for Aggressive Decoding-Time KV Eviction? Temporal Aggregation and Ranking Preservation

View original on arxiv.org

Overview

arXiv:2609.03515v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decoding-time KV cache compression research focuses heavily on designing better token scoring functions, while the temporal rule that aggregates scores across decode steps is often treated as an implementation detail. Under aggressive KV compression, we find that exponential-moving-average (EMA) aggregation makes approximately order-preserving scorer modifications largely indistinguishable at the eviction-set level.
