Semantic Integrity Matters: Benchmarking and Preserving High-Density Reasoning in KV Cache Compression
While Key-Value (KV) cache compression is essential for efficient LLM inference, current evaluations disproportionately focus on \textbf{sparse retrieval} tasks, potentially masking the degradation of High-Density Reasoning where Chain-of-Thought (CoT) coherence is critical. We introduce KVFundaBenc…
