Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models can outperform dense large language models at similar computation by activating only a small set of experts per token. However, stacking many expert modules introduces substantial parameter memory, which makes MoE models difficult to deploy in memory-constrained environments such as single-GPU devices. Offloading alleviates this issue by storing inactive experts in CPU memory and loading them on demand, but existing methods remain limited: static caches disregard input-dependent routing, and methods that train separate models to predict expert usage aheadResearch goal: Does ExpertFlow's offloading and caching mechanism maintain inference throughput gains without degrading object-level hallucination metrics (e.g., POPE) across different MoE-VLM architectures when compared to static cache baselines?Autonomous synthesis report generated by SOVEREIGN Research Kernel.
