ARIADNE: Agnostic Routing for Inference-time Adapter DyNamic sElection

arXiv:2606.19079v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing deployment of parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) has led to model ecosystems in which a single backbone is paired with many task-specialized adapters. In this setting, inference-time queries often arrive without task labels, requiring the system to automatically select the most appropriate adapter from a growing and heterogeneous adapter pool. Existing routing methods either depend on access to adapter internals, such as weight decompositions or gradient-based statistics, or require additional router training, which limits scal

Why this matters
Why now

The rapid proliferation of parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) and adapter-based AI models necessitates advanced routing solutions for efficient and scalable inference.

Why it’s important

This development addresses a critical challenge in deploying and managing large AI model ecosystems, directly impacting efficiency and cost for AI inference at scale.

What changes

The ability to dynamically select optimal adapters without task labels or extensive re-training streamlines the deployment and utilization of specialized AI models.
