LycheeDecode: Accelerating Long-Context LLM Inference via Hybrid-Head Sparse Decoding
ICLR 2026poster
The proliferation of long-context large language models (LLMs) exposes a key bottleneck: the rapidly expanding key-value cache during decoding, which imposes heavy memory and latency costs. While recent approaches attempt to alleviate this by sharing a single set of crucial tokens across layers, suc…
