LycheeCluster: Efficient Long-Context Inference with Structure-Aware Chunking and Hierarchical KV Indexing

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2603.08453v1 Announce Type: new The quadratic complexity of the attention mechanism and the substantial memory footprint of the Key-Value (KV) cache present severe computational and memory challenges for Large Language Models (LLMs) processing long contexts. Existing retrieval-based methods often compromise semantic integrity through fixed-size chunking and suffer from inefficient linear scanning. In this paper, we propose LycheeCluster, a novel method for efficient KV cache management.
