arXiv:2605.00419v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Model ensembling is a well-established technique for improving the performance of machine learning models. Conventionally, this involves averaging the output distributions of multiple models and selecting the most probable label. This idea has been naturally extended to large language models (LLMs), yielding improved performance but incurring substantial computational cost. This inefficiency stems from directly applying conventional ensemble implementation to LLMs, which require a separate forward pass for each model to explicitly compu
The rapid development and deployment of LLMs have highlighted performance bottlenecks and computational costs, making efficiency improvements a critical focus.
Improving LLM ensembling efficiency can significantly reduce the computational cost and environmental footprint of advanced AI applications, democratizing access and accelerating innovation.
The conventional approach to LLM ensembling, which is computationally expensive, is being re-evaluated through the lens of mixture models, promising more efficient performance boosts.
