Monte Carlo Estimation for KV Cache Eviction
Excerpt
arXiv:2610.07643v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Most KV-cache eviction methods ask, in effect, which memory appeared important while reading the prompt? We instead ask, which memory will matter while answering? Since decoding queries are unavailable at eviction time, prior future-aware methods rely on pseudo-responses or synthetic future-query estimates. We cast fixed-budget future-aware eviction as distributional estimation over plausible model-conditional query trajectories and introduce LORE-
