New HeRo framework enhances LLM inference with history-aware routing

Researchers have introduced HeRo, a novel framework for dynamic layer routing in large language models (LLMs) that incorporates a memory mechanism. This history-aware routing approach maintains an explicit routing state across the model's depth, aggregating preceding routing scores and residual updates. Experiments on Llama 3.1-8B, Llama 2-7B, and Llama 2-13B models demonstrate that HeRo consistently outperforms other baselines in performance retention while significantly reducing computational costs by bypassing a substantial percentage of model parameters.

IMPACT HeRo's history-aware routing could lead to more efficient LLM inference, reducing computational costs and potentially enabling faster responses.

    Do Dynamic Routers Need Memory? HeRo: History-Aware Routing for Efficient LLM Inference

    arXiv:2609.08189v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dynamic layer routing reduces the inference cost of Large Language Models (LLMs) by learning to skip layers for individual tokens. Existing methods, however, treat each routing decision as a local operation conditioned solely on the…
