Despite the rapid advancements of large language models (LLMs), LLM serving systems remain memory-intensive and costly. The key-value (KV) cache, which stores KV tensors during autoregressive decoding, is crucial for enabling low-latency, high-throughput LLM inference serving. In this survey, we focus on system-aware KV infrastructure for serving LLMs (abbreviated as sKis). We revisit recent work from a system behavior perspective, organizing existing efforts into three dimensions: execution and scheduling (temporal), placement and migration (spatial), and representation and retention (structural). Furthermore, we analyze cross-behavior co-design affinity and behavior-objective links, highlighting future opportunities. Our work systematizes a rapidly evolving area, providing a foundation for understanding and innovating KV cache designs in modern LLM serving infrastructure.

The proliferation of Large Language Models (LLMs) has saturated social media platforms with hyper-realistic posts, rendering traditional detection methods that rely on low-level artifacts or unimodal statistics increasingly ineffective. In this work, we identify a fundamental semantic distinction: humans tend to complement visual content with additional context, while LLMs predominantly describe the visual information. To capture this, UMPIRE employs an orthogonal semantic decomposition mechanism that disentangles textual embeddings into redundant and complementary components. An adaptive gating module dynamically weighs these components to reflect diverse communicative styles. To enforce the desired geometric structure, we introduce a latent contrastive redundancy regularization loss that encourages LLM-generated content to exhibit high semantic redundancy, while human-written content emphasizes complementarity. Experimental results demonstrate that UMPIRE significantly outperforms state-of-the-art detection methods across multiple datasets, achieving up to a 5.38% improvement in accuracy.
