arXiv:2607. 20981v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient multimodal inference is increasingly constrained not only by model quality or FLOP count, but also by the cost of preserving, moving, routing, caching, and quantizing multimodal representations under latency, memory, and energy constraints.
arXiv:2608. 10392v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixture-of-experts (MoE) models have recently moved beyond routing a fixed number of complete experts.

Efficient multimodal inference is increasingly constrained not only by model quality or FLOP count, but also by the cost of preserving, moving, routing, caching, and quantizing multimodal representations under latency, memory, and energy constraints. This paper reviews recent advances in efficient vision-language and multimodal large language models, covering visual token compression, video token management, KV-cache optimization, Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routing, low-bit quantization, edge deployment, and hardware-aware benchmarking.

arXiv:2607. 06523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context language model inference is increasingly limited by the memory bandwidth and capacity required to store key-value caches, yet existing compression methods often apply uniform budgets across layers or tokens and degrade retrieval when lexical cues and semantic states require different preservation.
arXiv:2609.08189v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dynamic layer routing reduces the inference cost of Large Language Models (LLMs) by learning to skip layers for individual tokens. Existing methods, ho...
arXiv:2607. 14107v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The inference efficiency of diffusion large language models (dLLMs) is constrained by two challenges: bidirectional attention precludes efficient KV-cache reuse, while increasing decoding parallelism with static confidence thresholds can compromise generation quality.
arXiv:2609.38823v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal mixture-of-experts (MoE) models combine sparse expert activation with visual-language capabilities, yet their inference remains costly becau...
The paper introduces Ban&Pick, a post‑training, plug‑and‑play routing strategy for Sparse Mixture‑of‑Experts large language models. It identifies and reinforces a small group of highly influential experts while dynamically pruning redundant ones, leading to accuracy gains across math, code, and reasoning benchmarks. Experiments on DeepSeek and Qwen3 show notable performance improvements and a 1.25× inference speedup without retraining or architectural changes.
