DeaMoE: Efficient MoE Structure for Fast Small-Batch Decoding

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have been widely adopted in real-time interactive applications such as coding assistants, real-time audio-video interaction systems. To meet the extremely low response latency requirements of these scenarios, practitioners commonly employ small-batch decoding, under which MoE inference becomes memory-bound and is severely bottlenecked by expert weight loading. However, this bottleneck has received limited attention, and existing solutions such as post-training weight compression or fine-grained expert design during pre-training either degrade model accuracy or introduce additional computation and communication overhead. To tackle this issue, we propose DeaMoE, a decoding-efficient MoE architecture, in which the experts are grouped into several departments, and the experts belonging to the same department share most parameters since they come from the same professional field, and additionally each expert contains a few private parameters to reflect its uniqueness. Moreover, we design customized two-stage routing strategy for DeaMoE to avoid redundant loading, under which DeaMoE greatly improves the efficiency during LLM decoding. Compared with vanilla MoE, DeaMoE reduces per-step loaded weights by up to 50.9% and achieves up to 1.33 end-to-end TPOT speedup for the pre-trained 7B model on A40, and up to 2.00x and 1.97x peak speedup for DeepSeek-V3 on A40 and H100 in microbenchmarks.

Beyond Semantic Organization: Memory as Execution State Management for Long-Horizon Agents

LLM-based agents increasingly tackle long-horizon tasks with interdependent decisions, where each action reshapes future constraints and intermediate errors can cascade. Existing RAG and agent memory systems organize histories by semantic similarity, retrieving content-relevant entries at decision time. We argue that this design mismatches execution-state dependencies: it fragments decision trajectories and mixes valid and erroneous traces, hindering coherent state reconstruction and error isolation. We propose MAGE (Memory as Agent-Guided Exploration), an active execution-state manager that stores interactions in a hierarchical state tree. The agent derives its state from the active root-to-current path, combining subgoal summaries, recent traces, and hints from prior branches. Four coupled operations maintain the tree: Grow records new traces, Compress summarizes completed subgoals, Maintain validates summaries, and Revise restores a target boundary and resumes on a new branch. This design bounds context growth while preserving state integrity and isolating flawed segments from the active path. Experiments on MemoryArena show that MAGE improves the average task success rate by 7.8--20.4 pp over baselines, while reducing token consumption by 55.1%.

AdaCluster: Adaptive Query-Key Clustering for Sparse Attention in Video Generation

Video diffusion transformers (DiTs) suffer from prohibitive inference latency due to quadratic attention complexity. Existing sparse attention methods either overlook semantic similarity or fail to adapt to heterogeneous token distributions across layers, leading to model performance degradation. We propose AdaCluster, a training-free adaptive clustering framework that accelerates the generation of DiTs while preserving accuracy. AdaCluster applies an angle-similarity-preserving clustering method to query vectors for higher compression, and designs a euclidean-similarity-preserving clustering method for keys, covering cluster number assignment, threshold-wise adaptive clustering, and efficient critical cluster selection. Experiments on CogVideoX-2B, HunyuanVideo, and Wan-2.1 on one A40 GPU demonstrate up to 1.67-4.31x speedup with negligible quality degradation.

BigMac: A Communication-Efficient Mixture-of-Experts Model Structure for Fast Training and Inference

The Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) structure scales the Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) and improves their performance with only the sub-linear increase in computation resources. Recently, a fine-grained DeepSeekMoE structure is proposed, which can further improve the computing efficiency of MoE without performance degradation. However, the All-to-All communication introduced by MoE has become a bottleneck, especially for the fine-grained structure, which typically involves and activates more experts, hence contributing to heavier communication overhead. In this paper, we propose a novel MoE structure named BigMac, which is also fine-grained but with high communication efficiency. The innovation of BigMac is mainly due to that we abandon the \textbf{c}ommunicate-\textbf{d}escend-\textbf{a}scend-\textbf{c}ommunicate (CDAC) manner used by fine-grained MoE, which leads to the All-to-All communication always taking place at the highest dimension. Instead, BigMac designs an efficient \textbf{d}escend-\textbf{c}ommunicate-\textbf{c}ommunicate-\textbf{a}scend (DCCA) manner. Specifically, we add a descending and ascending projection at the entrance and exit of the expert, respectively, which enables the communication to perform at a very low dimension. Furthermore, to adapt to DCCA, we re-design the structure of small experts, ensuring that the expert in BigMac has enough complexity to address tokens. Experimental results show that BigMac achieves comparable or even better model quality than fine-grained MoEs with the same number of experts and a similar number of total parameters. Equally importantly, BigMac reduces the end-to-end latency by up to 3.09$\times$ for training and increases the throughput by up to 3.11$\times$ for inference on state-of-the-art AI computing frameworks including Megatron, Tutel, and DeepSpeed-Inference.
