A key limitation of autoregressive Transformers is the large memory needed at inference-time to cache all previous key-value (KV) embeddings. Prior works address this by compressing the KV cache, but often assume specific structural…

Suppose $\mathsf{Est}$ is a randomized estimation algorithm that uses $n$ random bits and outputs values in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We show how to execute $\mathsf{Est}$ on $k$ adaptively chosen inputs using only $n + O(k \log(d + 1))$ random bits…
