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.

We report operational experience full-fine-tuning a 32. 76B-parameter dense model (Qwen3-32B) on 16 x NVIDIA B300 (two nodes, FSDP / ZeRO-3) -- among the first published field accounts on this accelerator.
WiSP (Working‑Set Paging) is a routing‑aware expert pager that allows Mixture‑of‑Experts models to run on GPUs that cannot hold the entire expert pool by paging experts in and out of VRAM while preserving byte‑identical outputs. On a 24 GiB RTX 3090, WiSP doubles decode throughput compared to static offload when the model does not fit, and its companion policy MV‑WSA allocates VRAM between resident experts and KV cache based on marginal latency benefit, reducing end‑to‑end time by up to 1.19× without altering model outputs.

arXiv:2607. 02640v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-time interaction models -- Moshi, MiniCPM-o, Qwen-Omni -- turn serving into a periodic real-time task: on every frame a session ingests streaming audio and must respond by a recurring wall-clock deadline, while its KV cache grows monotonically and stays pinned for the whole conversation.

arXiv:2607. 23806v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Improving a language model today means retraining it: enormous compute, a new opaque model each cycle, non-deterministic output.

The paper evaluates a learned request‑routing policy for disaggregated large‑language‑model serving, where compute‑heavy prefill and memory‑heavy decode stages run on separate GPU pools. Using a discrete‑event simulator and real NVIDIA A40 GPUs, the calibrated router—leveraging prompt length, predicted output length, KV‑cache pressure, and SLO class—outperforms round‑robin, least‑loaded, and length‑based heuristics, achieving the highest mean goodput (0.864) and lowest variance across three mixed, bursty arrival traces. Hardware calibration proves critical, providing a 4.5‑point goodput boost and roughly 40 % of the tail‑latency advantage, and the learned router can match round‑robin performance with one fewer GPU in certain scenarios.
