The paper introduces TopoCompress, a token compression framework designed for distributed edge Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) inference. It jointly optimizes token compression, expert deployment, GPU-CPU residency, and routing to reduce cross-server communication and resource usage. The method uses a two-timescale alternating optimization, with an online loop compressing low-importance tokens and an offline loop updating expert placement based on accumulated traffic.
arXiv:2607. 17154v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although mixture-of-experts, MoE, models have been increasingly adopted to scale large language models with moderate computation cost, it remains challenging to deploy MoE inference over resource-constrained and bandwidth-limited edge infrastructures.
arXiv:2607. 19539v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures increase model capacity without proportionally increasing computation cost and have become a key building block for scaling large language models (LLMs) to trillion-parameter regimes.
Although mixture-of-experts, MoE, models have been increasingly adopted to scale large language models with moderate computation cost, it remains challenging to deploy MoE inference over resource-constrained and bandwidth-limited edge infrastructures. Existing distributed MoE serving methods mainly rely on exact expert placement, caching, replication, or communication scheduling, while overlooking the functional similarity among experts, which provides an opportunity to reduce cross-server token transmission.
arXiv:2608. 11688v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models are attractive for edge deployment because they provide high model capacity while activating only a small subset of parameters per token, improving compute efficiency.

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.
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.
