The paper presents a method for distributing large language model inference across multiple Intel AI PCs by splitting the model into pipeline shards, each pre‑compiled into an OpenVINO graph. Three key techniques—beam_idx Gather to enable GPU optimizations, speculative decoding on stateful models, and interleaved micro‑batching—allow a two‑node Llama 3.1 8B INT4 pipeline to serve two users at 1.79× the throughput of a single‑node model, while a four‑node deployment can run a 70B model that no single PC can hold. The authors provide code, benchmark logs, and reproduction scripts on GitHub.

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.

The paper introduces Edge0, a streaming mixture‑of‑experts (MoE) inference engine that enables a 35‑billion‑parameter MoE model to run on consumer hardware by predicting routing decisions one token ahead. Edge0 uses a per‑layer prerouter to prefetch the necessary experts from SSD, and an unmerged recovery LoRA trained on the student path to recover quality lost to 4‑bit quantization and routing replacement. On a single 24‑GB machine, Edge0 serves the 35B MoE at 20 tokens per second while keeping peak active memory below 3 GiB, achieving performance close to its fp16 teacher across five public benchmarks.

The paper introduces a hardware-software co‑design framework that compresses Mixture‑of‑Experts (MoE) model weights into low‑precision, hardware‑native sparse representations, enabling efficient execution on Sparse Tensor Cores (SpTCs). By relaxing discrete support selection through continuous reparameterization, the method jointly optimizes quantized weights and supports a router‑weighted reconstruction objective, achieving up to 4.35 percentage‑point gains in joint sparse‑quantization accuracy while retaining 96.09% of the original model’s performance. A custom grouped sparse GEMM kernel further boosts inference speed, outperforming NVIDIA’s baseline by up to 1.65× and reducing latency by up to 4.03× on B200 GPUs.
