arXiv:2608. 12385v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As large language models serve ever more requests, cumulative inference cost is growing relative to the one-time cost of training.

arXiv:2608. 08888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive transformers compute along two axes: horizontally across generated tokens, and vertically through model depth.

arXiv:2606. 15453v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) based large language models (LLMs), such as Qwen and DeepSeek, have recently emerged as an effective approach to improving model capacity without proportionally increasing computational cost.

arXiv:2607. 06601v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conditional computation can decouple language model quality from per-token inference cost, yet leading techniques act on a single axis in isolation: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) sparsifies the FFN, Mixture-of-Depths (MoD) skips whole transformer blocks, and KV-cache quantization compresses attention memory.

arXiv:2607. 24434v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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.

arXiv:2607. 12696v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have become an important approach for scaling Large Language Models (LLMs), but their inference efficiency depends strongly on expert activation patterns.
