ACE framework optimizes MoE LLMs by skipping redundant expert computations

Researchers have developed ACE, a novel framework designed to optimize Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language models by adaptively skipping redundant expert computations. This training-free method utilizes a Global Spectral Proxy and Router-Conditioned Refinement to estimate expert contribution without relying on router confidence or calibration data. ACE consistently outperforms existing methods across various benchmarks and MoE models, significantly reducing perplexity and improving downstream accuracy, particularly under aggressive expert skipping scenarios. AI

IMPACT This method could lead to more efficient LLM inference by reducing computational overhead in MoE architectures.

    ACE: Adaptive Calibration-Free Expert Skipping for MoE-based LLMs

    arXiv:2609.05228v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures provide an efficient paradigm for scaling large language models (LLMs), yet fixed top-k routing activates the same number of expert slots for every token, causing substantial redundant computat…
