src/semantic_kv_cache.py
Entropy-Gated Semantic Anchor KV-Cache for Q-TensorFormer.
Protects initial attention sinks AND high-entropy / high-surprise tokens (semantic anchors)
from cache eviction, while aggressively quantizing or evicting low-information filler tokens.
Prevents long-context reasoning collapse while slashing DRAM footprint by up to 90%+.
