Opportunity Is Not Realizability: Selection-Valid Diagnostics for Multi-LLM Routing

arXiv:2608. 08265v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Oracle routing measures how much a pool of language models could gain from per-query selection, but the diagnostic has two flaws: testing against a best fixed model selected on the same examples invalidates paired inference, and a full-information oracle sees outcomes no deployable router observes.

FlexRouter: Learning Complementary Model Sets for Flexible LLM Routing

FlexRouter is a routing framework for large language models that explicitly models model complementarity to maximize answer coverage. It formulates routing as a coverage-oriented subset selection problem and uses Determinantal Point Processes to capture both competence and redundancy. During inference, a greedy strategy based on marginal log-determinant gains allows the router to adaptively determine subset sizes without a fixed budget, achieving higher coverage with lower redundancy on the RouterEval benchmark.

GRIP: Algorithm-Agnostic Machine Unlearning for Mixture-of-Experts via Geometric Router Constraints

The paper introduces GRIP, an algorithm‑agnostic framework for machine unlearning in Mixture‑of‑Experts large language models. GRIP enforces hard geometric constraints on router updates, projecting gradient changes into the null space of the retain set’s routing matrix to prevent routing manipulation. Two variants—training‑time stochastic projection and post‑training analytical correction—show significant improvements in routing stability, retain accuracy, and resistance to white‑box adversarial recovery across two MoE models.

ACE: Adaptive Calibration-Free Expert Skipping for MoE-based LLMs

ACE introduces a training‑free, calibration‑free framework for adaptive expert skipping in Mixture‑of‑Experts LLMs. It combines a Global Spectral Proxy that estimates global transformation capacity with a Router‑Conditioned Refinement that builds expert‑specific direction prototypes, enabling the model to skip low‑contribution experts while always keeping the top‑1 expert. Offline computation of expert statistics leaves only lightweight table lookups during inference, and experiments on three MoE‑based LLMs show ACE outperforms static and dynamic baselines, especially at high skipping ratios.
