arXiv:2602.06154v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models scale large language models efficiently by sparsely activating experts, but once an expert is selected, it is executed fully. Hence, the trade-off between accuracy and computation in an MoE model typically exhibits large discontinuities. We propose Mixture of Slimmable Experts (MoSE), an MoE architecture in which each expert has a nested, slimmable structure that can be executed at variable widths. This enables conditional computation not only over which experts are activated but also over how much of eac
The continuous growth of large language models necessitates more efficient architectures to manage computational costs and energy consumption, driving innovation in model design.
Sophisticated readers should care about MoSE as it represents a significant step towards more adaptable and resource-efficient AI models, impacting the practical deployment and scalability of LLMs.
Traditional MoE models offer discrete efficiency gains, but MoSE introduces continuous adaptability in expert execution, allowing for finer-grained control over the accuracy-computation trade-off.

More cost-effective and energy-efficient large language models become feasible for a wider range of applications.
This efficiency could accelerate the development of more complex and specialized AI agents, as computational overhead is reduced.
Reduced compute demands could lessen the immediate strain on energy grids, marginally deferring the full impact of AI's energy footprint.
