Title: ReasonAlloc: Hierarchical Decoding-Time KV Cache Budget Allocation for Reasoning Models

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.11164v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long chain-of-thought (CoT) trajectories in large language model (LLM) reasoning cause severe inference bottlenecks due to rapid key-value (KV) cache growth. Current decoding-time compression methods mitigate this issue via token eviction, but typically assume a uniform budget distribution across all layers and heads. In contrast, existing non-uniform budget allocation methods are predominantly designed for the static prompt prefill phase, and they
