Meta-Soft: Leveraging Composable Meta-Tokens for Context-Preserving KV Cache Compression

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.22337v1 Announce Type: new The KV cache used in large language models has linearly growing time complexity, so LLMs face memory blow-up and reduced decoding efficiency when they process long contexts. Current KV Cache eviction has become an important research direction; however, existing methods based on fixed Soft Tokens (e.g., Judge Q) rely on a static parameter set as the query to evaluate the importance of KV pairs, so they cannot adapt dynamically to different input prompts, and they cannot precisely capture complex and changing task relevance.
