SpecMoE: A Fast and Efficient Mixture-of-Experts Inference via Self-Assisted Speculative Decoding

arXiv:2604.10152v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture has emerged as a promising approach to mitigate the rising computational costs of large language models (LLMs) by selectively activating parameters. However, its high memory requirements and sub-optimal parameter efficiency pose significant challenges for efficient deployment. Although CPU-offloaded MoE inference systems have been proposed in the literature, they offer limited efficiency, particularly for l
