arXiv:2603. 18492v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models increase parameter capacity without proportional per-token computation, yet deployment still requires storing the full expert pool, making expert pruning important for reducing memory and serving overhead.

Sparsely activated Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models contain substantial structured redundancy among routed experts, but pruning them without downstream calibration data remains challenging. Existing expert-pruning methods typically rely on a single aggregated importance score, which can bias the retained set toward experts favored by dominant calibration patterns.

arXiv:2606. 09885v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts large language models (LLMs) scale efficiently through sparse activation, yet their deployment is fundamentally constrained by the large static parameter footprint of experts.

Mixture-of-experts vision-language models (MoE-VLMs) increase model capacity with sparse expert activation, yet deployment requires storing the full expert pool. Training-free expert merging reduces this burden, and many routing-based methods aggregate routing statistics across all tokens to determine merge compatibility.
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models achieve strong performance through conditional computation, but their large parameter footprint poses deployment challenges. Prior MoE compression approaches catastrophically fail when evaluated on general-purpose benchmarks beyond commonsense reasoning.
