Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have outgrown accelerator memory, and offloading expert weights to host memory is now standard. This makes expert c...

The paper investigates whether training Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routers can improve memory‑bandwidth locality on consumer GPUs. Using a new zero‑surgery telemetry tool, the authors measure that a large Qwen3‑235B model is bottlenecked by disk‑based expert access, and that an LRU cache can serve a majority of requests. They pre‑register experiments training 137 M‑parameter MoE models with locality‑aware losses, finding that while cache misses can drop up to 60 % (99 % static‑pin hit rate), every configuration fails to meet a strict 1 % perplexity threshold, indicating a tight coupling between cache efficiency and model quality.

Serving a 235B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model on a single 8 GB GPU is bottlenecked not by compute but by memory bandwidth: decode must stream each token's active experts from whichever tier holds them, and on consumer hardware most experts sit on an SSD far slower than RAM. We quantify this bandwidth wall on Qwen3-235B (Q4_K_M, 134 GB): measured decode is 0.

The paper introduces a cache‑aware post‑training framework for Mixture‑of‑Experts (MoE) models that jointly adapts the MoE backbone and lightweight auxiliary cache routers while keeping the native Top‑K expert‑selection rule. Two modes are proposed: Temporal Router, which predicts same‑layer reuse and retains experts for future tokens, and Spatio‑Temporal Router, which adds a Spatio Router that refines the temporal cache using the causal predecessor’s hidden state. Experiments on Qwen3 and GPT‑OSS across GSM8K, MATH, and CommonsenseQA show that Temporal Router improves cache hit rates and reduces expert‑weight traffic, while Spatio‑Temporal Router achieves the best load‑adjusted efficiency, outperforming strong prefetching baselines.

The paper introduces a two‑level internal readout for mixture‑of‑experts reasoning models. First, it compresses the model’s reasoning states into a 64‑axis semantic frame (J64) that reveals process states not captured by the emitted trace, improving held‑out AUC by 0.096–0.135. Second, it reconstructs this frame from native expert‑routing statistics (R64), achieving high correlation with J64 and preserving most of its predictive gain while enabling low‑overhead, test‑time decision making and improved routing policies.
