Polynomial Context-Truncation Sensitivity in Autoregressive Language Models: Sequential Wyner-Ziv Bounds for KV Cache Compression

Researchers develop theoretical bounds for KV cache compression in language models, discovering that context sensitivity decays polynomially rather than exponentially. Their findings enable more efficient memory-aware cache policies that reduce memory requirements while maintaining model performance, with practical implications for deploying larger models on resource-constrained systems.
