BeaconKV Optimizes LRM Inference via Thought Revisiting Token Analysis
September 3, 2026
BeaconKV addresses KV cache bottlenecks in Large Reasoning Models by identifying Thought Revisiting Tokens (TRTs) that re-attend to distant context. The method uses these specific query clusters to guide more efficient KV cache compression during long-horizon reasoning.
