ITC-MoE introduces an Importance-guided Token-aware Compression framework for Mixture-of-Experts Diffusion Language Models. It combines Adaptive Tucker Compression, which uses activation and gradient importance to jointly factorize expert weights and allocate ranks, with Token-aware Compensation and Routing that applies low‑rank adjustments to hot tokens and limits expert candidates for cold tokens. The method achieves significant reductions in computation and storage while maintaining generation quality, exemplified by a 30% compression budget that preserves 96.33% accuracy on MultiArith and delivers up to a 7.22× speedup.

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:2512. 13996v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sparse Mixture-of-Experts architectures are essential for scaling model capacity efficiently, yet the standard Top-$k$ routing imposes a rigid sparsity pattern that ignores the intrinsic variance in token difficulty and layer-specific computational needs.

The paper studies how the design of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routers affects inference speed when combined with Speculative Decoding (SD). It shows that routers promoting high expert coactivation reduce memory transfer costs and improve runtime. By integrating a global load‑balancing loss, shared experts, a consistency loss, and an autoregressive expert selection mechanism, the authors achieve a 21% throughput gain over baseline MoEs while preserving accuracy.
