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.

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.

IntBMoE: Integrating Block-Level Conditioning into Expert Composition for Full-Participation Mixture-of-Experts

IntBMoE introduces a block‑conditioned mixture‑of‑experts that decouples participation, execution, and materialization by combining dense expert composition with sparse block execution. Each internal layer uses a lightweight hypernetwork to merge all expert bases into a single composed expert, while a router selects only a few blocks per token, keeping compute and memory costs low. Experiments on image classification, language modeling, and sequential recommendation demonstrate consistent performance gains, and the model is deployed in AMap’s generative recommendation system, improving UVCTR by 2.4% in online A/B tests.
