Large Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models are attractive for end-device deployment because only a small subset of experts is active per token, but their routed expert weights often exceed accelerator memory. We target latency-critical single-user settings where routed experts are staged on demand from CPU memory to a GPU or from Flash to a mobile NPU.
arXiv:2608. 12385v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language models serve more requests, cumulative inference cost is becoming increasingly important relative to one-time training cost.
