EEP makes wide expert-parallel MoE serving survive single-rank failures with an 11s recovery pause, 8s reintegration pause, and throughput restored to 95% of pre-fault level within 52s while staying within 4.4% of a fixed-membership baseline in steady state.

RaMP uses a hardware-derived performance region analysis and a four-parameter wave cost model to select optimal polymorphic kernel configurations for MoE inference from runtime expert histograms, delivering 1.22x kernel and 1.30x end-to-end speedups with 0.93% mean regret after brief profiling.
Profiling shows persistent expert load imbalance and domain-specific activation patterns in large MoE models; workload-aware grouping and placement reduce all-to-all communication volume by up to 20x.
MoT decouples non-embedding parameters by modality in transformers to match dense multi-modal performance with roughly one-third to one-half the FLOPs.
TACO compresses tensor-parallel intermediate tensors with an adaptive FP8 scheme and fused kernels, yielding up to 1.87X throughput gains on GPT and Qwen models with near-lossless accuracy.
Mixtral 8x7B is a sparse MoE LLM activating 2 of 8 experts per layer that matches or exceeds Llama 2 70B and GPT-3.5 on benchmarks while using only 13B active parameters.
