New technique claims another 4x per-token KV cache size reduction

A claim circulating on X says a new KV cache compression approach achieves another 4x reduction in per-token KV cache size, a notable step for inference memory optimization. No paper or implementation details were provided in the original post, so the method remains unverified.
