Title: ReasonAlloc: Hierarchical Decoding-Time KV Cache Budget Allocation for Reasoning Models

Source: http://arxiv.org/abs/2606.11164v1

Summary:

ReasonAlloc introduces a hierarchical KV cache allocation strategy that significantly optimizes memory usage during the long chain-of-thought trajectories characteristic of modern reasoning models. By identifying "Reasoning Wave" demand patterns, this training-free framework provides a foundational primitive for scaling inference efficiency in complex reasoning tasks.
