Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) has demonstrated promising potential in scaling LLMs . however, it is hindered by two critical challenges: substantial GPU memory consumption and low activated parameters. |
| Approach: | They propose an Expert-Selection Aware Compressor for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) that aligns with the characteristics of MoE from the perspectives of quantization and pruning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach significantly reduces memory usage and improves inference speed with minimal performance degradation. |
