Long-context capability has become increasingly critical for next-generation Large Language Models (LLMs). However, the quadratic time complexity of standard softmax attention introduces substantial computation and memory overhead as sequence length grows, limiting the scalability of LLMs in long-context scenarios. Beyond existing approaches such as linear recurrent architectures and KV-cache compression methods, we propose Kwai Summary Attention (KSA), a novel attention mechanism that reduces sequence modeling cost by compressing historical contexts into learnable summary tokens. Specifically, summary tokens are periodically inserted into the input sequence and interleaved with text tokens, partitioning the sequence into distinct chunks while enabling text tokens and summary tokens to operate under different attention scopes. This design preserves dense local expressiveness through full attention among neighboring text tokens, while modeling long-range dependencies efficiently via summary tokens. Empirical results demonstrate that hybrid-KSA consistently outperforms existing hybrid attention variants in long-context modeling. Moreover, KSA is fully orthogonal to GQA and MLA during inference, and combining KSA with these methods achieves up to 8x KV-cache compression while preserving model performance.
