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.

arXiv:2606. 09886v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language models achieve strong quality with low per-token compute, yet their deployment is often limited by the memory wall: the full expert pool must remain resident to support token-dependent routing.

ExFold is a training‑free expert‑folding framework that jointly accelerates the prefill and decode phases of Mixture‑of‑Experts (MoE) models by projecting the contributions of excluded experts onto a retained expert set using calibrated scalar projectors. It treats both phases as a budgeted output‑approximation problem, achieving token‑level Top‑K folding for prefill and batch‑level expert‑pool folding for decode. Implemented as a plug‑and‑play plugin in vLLM with a lightweight CUDA kernel, ExFold delivers up to 1.41× TTFT and 2.45× TPOT speedups while preserving about 99% of the original model quality.
