BigMoMo: Efficient Inference of Large-Scale MoE with Speculative Decoding on Mobile Devices

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models expand language model capacity on smartphones, but expert offloading remains constrained by limited DRAM capacity and costly data movement. Sequential token routing couples expert execution to fragmented flash reads and multistage NPU preparation, leaving sparse computation stalled on weight transfers. Each transfer serves few tokens before execution moves on. We exploit the multi-token verification window of speculative decoding to decouple expert movement from single-token execution, enabling weight reuse, contiguous flash reads, and load-compute overlap. We present \textsc{BigMoMo}, a mobile MoE runtime that exploits this window across the memory hierarchy. It prunes speculative branches and expert activations using acceptance rates, routing impact, and movement cost; reorganizes on-flash experts according to runtime co-loading patterns; and batches ready experts to overlap NPU computation with pending transfers. Across four MoE models and five benchmarks on two mobile platforms, \textsc{BigMoMo} achieves mean decoding speedups of $4.83\times$ over on-demand autoregressive offloading and $1.82\times$ over the best speculative MoE baseline, supporting MoE models up to 30B parameter.

When and Where to Look: Adaptive Visual Evidence Scheduling for Efficient Long Video Understanding

Efficient long-video understanding requires vision--language models (VLMs) to reason over a small number of frames selected as sparse visual evidence. Existing relevance-based methods rely on static one-shot selection with fixed frame budgets and candidate pools, while agent-based schedulers achieve adaptivity through costly multi-round reasoning and interactive search. We propose EcoFrame, a training-free framework for low-overhead query-adaptive visual evidence scheduling. EcoFrame leverages the VLM's inference feedback to determine when to increase the frame budget and where to search for additional candidate evidence. Specifically, entropy-gated budget scheduling uses output uncertainty to stop early when the current evidence is sufficient or progressively expand the frame budget otherwise. Meanwhile, attention-guided candidate proposal converts frame-level attention into a temporal prior, enabling dense local search in informative regions while preserving global coverage when attention is diffuse. Experiments on Video-MME, LongVideoBench, and MLVU demonstrate that EcoFrame achieves a better accuracy--efficiency trade-off across multiple VLM backbones. On Qwen2.5-VL, EcoFrame achieves an average accuracy of 64.4, surpassing BOLT at 63.5, while providing a $1.85\times$ speedup over AKS and BOLT. Compared with the agent-based A.I.R., EcoFrame maintains comparable accuracy with up to a $13.5\times$ inference speedup. Code will be available at https://github.com/AK-DREAM/EcoFrame.

EchoCache: Energy-Guided Cross-Modal Caching for Efficient Audio-Driven Video Generation

EchoCache is proposed, an energy-guided cross-modal caching framework for efficient A2V generation that leverages audio time-frequency energy as a saliency anchor to guide latent-level cache updates and further introduces a dynamic timestep-latent caching mechanism with quantized cache management for joint efficiency and memory optimization.

Token Radius Attention for Efficient Video Generation

This work proposes Token Radius Attention (TRA), a training-free framework that maps query entropy to an analytic token budget and converts it into a temporally decayed radius without explicit key ranking and achieves 1.05x speedup with competitive generation quality.
