cMoLLM at Scale: Horizontal Scaling Laws for Mixture-of-LLMs

arXiv:2607. 22577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scaling large language models (LLMs) has driven their success, yet dense Transformers couple capacity and computation: every parameter is activated for every token, making training and inference costs grow linearly with model size-a critical bottleneck as models approach trillion-parameter regimes.

DAG-MoE: From Simple Mixture to Structural Aggregation in Mixture-of-Experts

arXiv:2606. 01062v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have become a leading approach for decoupling parameter count from computational cost in large language models, yet effectively scaling MoE performance remains a challenge.

PCoMoE: Shifting MoE Inference from Monolithic Expert Selection to Fine-Grained Path Composition

PCoMoE introduces a path‑compositional execution framework that moves Mixture‑of‑Experts inference from coarse‑grained expert selection to fine‑grained path composition. It uses a path‑level formulation of expert computation, a compatibility‑aware layer‑wise pruning strategy to eliminate low‑value path combinations, and a hardware‑friendly execution engine that reuses sub‑expert structures with bounded overhead. Experiments show up to a 1.31× speedup and a 10% accuracy improvement over existing MoE inference methods.

Ban&Pick: Enhancing Performance and Efficiency of MoE-LLMs via Smarter Routing

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.

ExFold: Unified Expert Folding for Training-Free MoE Prefill-Decode Acceleration

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.
