OMP-MoE is a training‑free compression framework that prunes redundant experts in Mixture‑of‑Experts large language models by framing the problem as sparse signal reconstruction solved with Orthogonal Matching Pursuit. The method greedily selects expert contributions as dictionary atoms to minimize reconstruction error, then optimizes cross‑layer expert allocation via a water‑filling strategy, and finally introduces an adaptive inference mechanism (OMP‑MoE†) that dynamically adjusts expert activation based on energy prediction. Experiments on Qwen, DeepSeek‑V2, GPT‑OSS, and Mixtral MoE show consistent performance gains at 25‑50% pruning ratios, with Qwen3‑30B‑A3B retaining 93.3% of original performance at 50% compression while achieving significant speedups.

Residual sparsification via output importance (PARSER) is a new compression technique for mixture-of-experts large language models that shifts the compression objective from minimizing isolated matrix errors to preserving the expert output error. By introducing output importance, PARSER measures each residual’s contribution to the final expert output and compresses accordingly. Experiments show that PARSER reduces the accuracy gap to the uncompressed model by 1.41× on Qwen and 1.44× on DeepSeek while achieving the same peak memory reduction.

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.
