Title: IntentKV: Cross-Turn Intent-Aware KV Cache Pruning for Agent Inference

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.09916v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-turn LLM agents fan short queries into long trajectories of tool calls, search results, and intermediate reasoning. Both KV memory and KV read bandwidth grow by orders of magnitude across a single trajectory, making the key-value (KV) cache, not parameter compute, the dominant serving bottleneck for long-horizon agents. We introduce IntentKV, learned KV pruning that keeps the base LLM frozen. IntentKV maintains a session-level QueryMemory o
