Federated PEFT enables LLMs to collaboratively adapt to decentralized private data without sharing raw examples. However, task heterogeneity across clients can cause cross-task interference and gradient conflicts during aggregation.
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.
