FluxMoE: Decoupling Expert Residency for High-Performance MoE Serving

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

FluxMoE introduces an expert paging system that decouples Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model experts from permanent GPU residency, allowing dynamic adaptation to available memory. By combining PagedTensor, a bandwidth‑balanced memory hierarchy, and a budget‑aware residency planner, FluxMoE streams expert weights on demand while keeping computations on GPUs. Experiments on GLM‑4.5 and Mixtral‑8×7B‑Instruct show significant throughput gains and reduced time‑per‑output‑token compared to existing inference engines, without compromising model quality.

ExFold: Unified Expert Folding for Training-Free MoE Prefill-Decode Acceleration

ExFold is a training‑free expert‑folding framework that jointly accelerates the prefill and decode phases of Mixture‑of‑Experts (MoE) models by projecting the contributions of excluded experts onto a retained expert set using calibrated scalar projectors. It treats both phases as a budgeted output‑approximation problem, achieving token‑level Top‑K folding for prefill and batch‑level expert‑pool folding for decode. Implemented as a plug‑and‑play plugin in vLLM with a lightweight CUDA kernel, ExFold delivers up to 1.41× TTFT and 2.45× TPOT speedups while preserving about 99% of the original model quality.

DraftExpert: Expansion-Aware Self-Speculative Decoding for End-Device MoE Inference

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.
