arXiv:2606.09886v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language models achieve strong quality with low per-token compute, yet their deployment is often limited by the memory wall: the full expert pool must remain resident to support token-dependent routing. Expert pruning is a direct remedy, but prior criteria typically score experts independently and overlook that MoE inference is inherently \emph{coalitional}, where outputs arise from routed top-$k$ expert combinations. We propose \textbf{SHAPE}, a task-driven pruning framework that explicitly models \emph{intr
