Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2605. 18643v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) scales language models efficiently through sparse expert activation, and its dynamic variant further reduces computation by adjusting the activated experts in an input-dependent manner.

Instella-MoE Technical Report

Instella‑MoE is a fully open Mixture‑of‑Experts language model with 16 billion total parameters and 2.8 billion active parameters per token, trained from scratch on AMD Instinct GPUs. It incorporates a sparsely activated MoE design with Gated Multi‑head Latent Attention and FarSkip‑Collective connectivity, and follows a multi‑stage pipeline that includes pre‑training, long‑context extension, supervised fine‑tuning, direct preference optimization, and reinforcement learning with Multi‑Teacher On‑Policy Distillation. The model achieves an average score of 76.7 on pre‑training benchmarks and 73.2 on instruction‑following, reasoning, math, coding, and chat benchmarks, outperforming comparable fully open and open‑weight models, and its full training pipeline, weights, and code are released for reproducibility.

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.
