arXiv:2608.30386v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hybrid linear-attention architectures have recently scaled to large open-weight models, offering quality competitive with full attention while substantially reducing key/value (KV) cache growth. However, their in-place recurrent-state updates complicate cache management: prefix reuse requires state checkpoints alongside full-attention KV, while storing state checkpoints in full increases memory pressure, leading to more evictions and repeated prefill. By analyzing the decay structure of Gated DeltaNet (GDN) and Kimi Delta Attention (KDA
