Shrinking MoE Language Models

Shrinking MoE Language Models

Innovative compression through delta decompression technique

D²-MoE introduces a novel compression approach for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models by decomposing expert weights into shared base weights and unique delta components.

  • Leverages expert similarity patterns to dramatically reduce storage requirements
  • Combines delta decompression with SVD and structured pruning techniques
  • Demonstrates effective parameter reduction while maintaining model performance
  • Addresses critical deployment challenges for resource-intensive MoE architectures

This engineering breakthrough makes advanced MoE models more practical for real-world applications by reducing their prohibitive memory and storage demands.
