arXiv:2605.22205v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models increasingly require specialization across diverse domains, yet existing approaches struggle to balance multi-domain capacities with strict memory and inference constraints. In this work, we introduce SkillWeave, a modular improvement framework that enables LLMs to specialize under fixed memory budgets. SkillWeave partitions full capabilities of a general-purpose model into skillpacks -- lightweight, domain-specific delta modules -- that reorganize and refine the model's internal knowledge. For efficient deployment, SkillW
The rapid advancement of large language models is pressing against constraints of computational resources and memory, driving the need for more efficient specialization techniques. This research offers a timely solution to balance multi-domain capabilities with practical deployment limitations.
This development is crucial for expanding the practical applications of advanced AI, enabling specialized LLMs to operate effectively in resource-constrained environments, and thus accelerating their integration into diverse industries without proportional increases in hardware. It addresses a key bottleneck for wider AI adoption.
The ability to efficiently specialize LLMs using modular 'skillpacks' means that powerful AI models can be deployed more broadly, offering tailored intelligence for specific tasks without requiring massive computational overhead for each specialization. This fundamentally alters the cost-benefit analysis for AI deployment.

General-purpose LLMs can be more easily adapted and cost-effectively deployed for niche applications, significantly broadening their market reach.
This modularity could foster an ecosystem of 'skillpack' developers, similar to app stores, leading to rapid innovation and competition in AI customization.
The reduced resource requirements for specialized AI could democratize access to advanced AI, allowing smaller entities and nations to develop bespoke AI capabilities, potentially impacting the 'sovereign AI' landscape.
