Tsinghua's Cache Engineering Lets Agents Control KV Caches Without Re-prefilling

nics-efc · hf · 2026-10-22

Researchers from Tsinghua and CUHK propose cache engineering, letting LLM agents directly manage active KV caches via drop and repos operations without modifying trajectories or re-prefilling retained context. The paper formalizes history dependence—identical token sequences yield different cache states—invalidating prefix matching, and co-designs a serving engine.
