Beyond Task-Agnostic: Task-Aware Grouping for Communication-Efficient Multi-Task MoE Inference
arXiv:2606.01007v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparsely activated Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models scale capacity via conditional computation, but distributed inference suffers from cross-GPU expert communication and routing-induced load imbalance. Existing placement methods reduce this cost by co-locating frequently co-activated experts; however, they derive a single deployment plan from globally aggregated routing traces, thereby averaging away the heterogeneous, task-specific co-activation patterns that actually drive communication in multi-task serving. We observe that expert co-activation
The increasing complexity and scale of AI models, particularly MoE architectures, are pushing the limits of current inference infrastructure, making efficiency paramount.
Optimizing MoE inference directly translates to lower operational costs, faster deployment of sophisticated AI, and broader accessibility for advanced AI capabilities.
This research introduces a more efficient way to manage multi-task MoE inference by adapting deployment plans to specific task needs, leading to better resource utilization.
