Deploying long-context large language models (LLMs) is essential but poses significant computational and memory challenges. Caching all Key and Value (KV) states across all attention heads consumes substantial memory. Existing KV cache pruning methods either damage the long-context capabilities of L…
Vision language models have received increasing attention for their ability to integrate visual and textual understanding, with some capable of processing native-resolution images and long videos. While the capacity to process large visual data unlocks numerous downstream applications, it often intr…
Leveraging attention sparsity to accelerate long-context large language models (LLMs) has been of great importance recently. However, most existing sparse attention algorithms use a fixed budget of how many tokens to use in their computations. This simple static decision raises critical issues in re…
As the demand for long-context large language models (LLMs) increases, models with context windows of up to 128K or 1M tokens are becoming increasingly prevalent. However, long-context LLM inference is challenging since the inference speed decreases significantly as the sequence length grows. This s…
