SAEM: Stage-Aware Expert Management for Memory-Efficient MoE Inference in Chain-of-Thought Reasoning
SAEM is proposed, a stage-aware MoE inference runtime that detects reasoning stage boundaries and exploits stage-level activation coherence to guide expert placement and achieves an average 1.33x throughput improvement over the strongest state-of-the-art caching and offloading baselines under constrained GPU memory.
