Title: SparKV: Overhead-Aware KV Cache Loading for Efficient On-Device LLM Inference
Abstract:
arXiv:2604.21231v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Efficient inference for on-device Large Language Models (LLMs) remains challenging due to limited hardware resources and the high cost of the prefill stage, which processes the full input context to construct Key-Value (KV) caches. We present SparKV, an adaptive KV loading framework that combines cloud-based KV streaming with on-device computation. SparKV models the cost of individual KV chunks and decides whether each chunk should be streamed or
