TaskPress: Query-Agnostic KV Cache Compression via Task-Guided Pruning
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.03276v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context inference with large language models is constrained by the linear growth of the key-value cache to sequence length. While pruning offers mitigation, prevailing methods determine query-specific token importance that cannot be reused across unseen queries. In contrast, we introduce TaskPress, a framework for task-guided, query-agnostic KV cache eviction. Instead of optimizing the cache for a single query, TaskPress constructs a reusable memory representation conditioned on a high-level task guide. The guide functions as a meta-query du
