arXiv:2606. 16825v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures efficiently scale Large Language Models (LLMs) by activating only a small fraction of their experts per token, yet the full parameter count - dominated by the expert parameters - must be held in training and inference memory.

The paper introduces CS-MoE, a Transformer architecture that shares experts across layers to reduce inter‑layer parameter redundancy. By combining layer‑independent experts with a globally shared expert pool, CS‑MoE allows elastic control over token‑level parameter activation and computational cost. Experiments show that CS‑MoE achieves lower perplexity than equal‑scale dense Transformers while activating only 55% of parameters, and its performance scales with the number of activated experts, approaching MoE performance within a fixed FLOPs budget.

The paper introduces Ban&Pick, a post‑training, plug‑and‑play routing strategy for Sparse Mixture‑of‑Experts large language models. It identifies and reinforces a small group of highly influential experts while dynamically pruning redundant ones, leading to accuracy gains across math, code, and reasoning benchmarks. Experiments on DeepSeek and Qwen3 show notable performance improvements and a 1.25× inference speedup without retraining or architectural changes.

The paper presents a statistical framework for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models, treating them as localized aggregation systems. It derives oracle risk bounds that separate approximation, expert‑learning, and router‑estimation errors for both dense and sparse routing with evolving experts. The authors also analyze how sparse Top‑K routing balances computational cost with performance, interpret gating geometrically, and explain how shared experts can capture common predictive structure while allowing routed experts to focus on local residuals.
