Reading Notes of Selective Context: Compressing Context to Enhance Inference Efficiency of Large Language Models TL;DR: using perplexity on a small LLM as the heuristic. The assumption is that context tokens with lower surprisal can be deleted. Not really optimize the policy model to minimize the cost. 2026-09-12 Reading Notes > NLP > Efficient Inference #Reading Notes #NLP #Efficient Inference

Reading Notes of ForesightKV: Optimizing KV Cache Eviction for Reasoning Models by Learning Long-Term Contribution Something similar with the KVP (and arxived at similar time). Use SFT to train on “oracle” tokens related to future attention. Use RL/GRPO to penalize loss spikes on low-entropy (tokens that should be 2026-09-09 Reading Notes > NLP > KV Cache #Reading Notes #NLP #KV Cache
Reading Notes of RLKV: Which Heads Matter for Reasoning? RL-Guided KV Cache Compression TL;DR: Some of heads should not do KV cache eviction. This paper predicts which heads to do KV cache eviction and which heads to do full KV cache.

Reading Notes of SWE-Pruner: Self-Adaptive Context Pruning for Coding Agents Train a smaller model to predict what lines to be deleted for the read action of coding agent. The pruned part is sent back to the agent. The training pipeline is not clear. 2026-09-08 Reading Notes > NLP > LLM Agents #Reading Notes #NLP #LLM Agents
