arXiv:2606. 20512v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-based coding agents need higher-level operational knowledge about a repository (which files house which subsystems, how to run the test suite, which workflows have historically led to wrong fixes) that does not exist in the code itself.

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.

Nexus introduces a depth‑adaptive KV‑cache splicing and retrieval‑decoupled tool routing mechanism for agentic large language models that reduces the time‑to‑first‑token (TTFT) by decoupling tool routing from the expensive schema re‑encoding step. It uses an INT8 semantic lookaside buffer to select tools via retrieval and generates arguments from a compressed textual signature, maintaining about 89% routing accuracy even as the tool registry scales to 250 tools. Additionally, Nexus can splice compiled schema KV blocks into the live context, repairing the seam with a depth‑adaptive suffix redecode when rotary position embedding drift exceeds a threshold, ensuring output fidelity while achieving up to 1.7× TTFT speedup at moderate depth.
