The paper introduces Routide, a Swift/MLX runtime that runs a quantized Qwen3.6-35B-A3B model on iPhone by keeping expert weights on device storage and a byte‑budgeted subset in memory. It evaluates cache‑policy effects, showing that a 512 MiB LRU cache yields 0.00% demand hits while a 576 MiB LRU reaches 38.58% hits across five 128‑token workloads, indicating that capacity limits depend on policy and workload. The study also reports memory footprints, thermal events, and power estimates, demonstrating that flash‑backed MoE inference is feasible within bounded resources but has measurable limitations.

arXiv:2607. 24434v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models are attractive for end-device deployment because only a small subset of experts is active per token, but their routed expert weights often exceed accelerator memory.
Large Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models are attractive for end-device deployment because only a small subset of experts is active per token, but their routed expert weights often exceed accelerator memory. We target latency-critical single-user settings where routed experts are staged on demand from CPU memory to a GPU or from Flash to a mobile NPU.

The paper introduces a cache‑aware post‑training framework for Mixture‑of‑Experts (MoE) models that jointly adapts the MoE backbone and lightweight auxiliary cache routers while keeping the native Top‑K expert‑selection rule. Two modes are proposed: Temporal Router, which predicts same‑layer reuse and retains experts for future tokens, and Spatio‑Temporal Router, which adds a Spatio Router that refines the temporal cache using the causal predecessor’s hidden state. Experiments on Qwen3 and GPT‑OSS across GSM8K, MATH, and CommonsenseQA show that Temporal Router improves cache hit rates and reduces expert‑weight traffic, while Spatio‑Temporal Router achieves the best load‑adjusted efficiency, outperforming strong prefetching baselines.
