arXiv:2610.06927v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The key-value (KV) cache of autoregressive transformers grows linearly with context length and dominates memory at long context. Most training-free remedies evict low-importance tokens, an irreversible choice along the sequence axis. We instead keep every token and store it more cheaply along the "feature" axis. We therefore propose AttSVD, a new "interpretable" low-rank compression whose basis is derived from each prompt's own attention geometry: an online, per-prompt truncated SVD that keeps only the directions attention actually reads, cutti
