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.

arXiv:2606. 08962v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World Action Models (WAMs) generalize better than standard Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies to novel motions and environments, because a video-modeling objective lets them learn from abundant unlabeled video rather than scarce labeled robot demonstrations.

Vector Symbolic Policy Gradient (VSPG) is a discrete-action actor that encodes each action as a unit‑norm hypervector and evaluates it by similarity to the encoded state. Its policy‑gradient update reduces to advantage‑weighted hypervector bundling followed by normalization, enabling the use of standard advantage estimators. The learned action hypervectors act as fixed‑size compressed kernel memories that store advantage‑weighted expansions over visited states, allowing evidence transfer via encoder‑induced similarity and providing a robustness guarantee for greedy action selection under random bit flips.

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.
