Blink: Dynamic Visual Token Resolution for Enhanced Multimodal Understanding
Yuchen Feng, Zhenyu Zhang, Naibin Gu +8
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress on various vision-language tasks, yet their visual perception remains limited. Humans, in comparison, per…
Elastic MoE: Unlocking the Inference-Time Scalability of Mixture-of-Experts
Naibin Gu, Zhenyu Zhang, Yuchen Feng +8
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models typically fix the number of activated experts at both training and inference. However, real-world deployments often face heterogeneous hardware,…
PRISM: Privacy-Aware Routing for Adaptive Cloud-Edge LLM Inference via Semantic Sketch Collaboration
Junfei Zhan, Haoxun Shen, Zheng Lin +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate impressive capabilities in natural language understanding and generation, but incur high communication overhead and privacy risks in cloud…
VecInfer: Efficient LLM Inference with Low-Bit KV Cache via Outlier-Suppressed Vector Quantization
Dingyu Yao, Chenxu Yang, Zhengyang Tong +4
The Key-Value (KV) cache introduces substantial memory overhead during large language model (LLM) inference. Although existing vector quantization (VQ) methods reduce KV cache usag…
CBP-Tuning: Efficient Local Customization for Black-box Large Language Models
Jiaxuan Zhao, Naibin Gu, Yuchen Feng +4
The high costs of customizing large language models (LLMs) fundamentally limit their adaptability to user-specific needs. Consequently, LLMs are increasingly offered as cloud-based…
DIVE into MoE: Diversity-Enhanced Reconstruction of Large Language Models from Dense into Mixture-of-Experts
Yuchen Feng, Bowen Shen, Naibin Gu +4
Large language models (LLMs) with the Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture achieve high cost-efficiency by selectively activating a subset of the parameters. Despite the inference…
