Beyond Independent Optimization: Compression, MoE Routing, and Quantization Interactions in Multimodal Edge Intelligence
Jay Gor, Karm Dave, Akshita Abrol, Rajesh Gupta, Sudeep Tanwar, Zhengkui Wang
Efficient multimodal inference is increasingly constrained not only by model quality or FLOP count, but also by the cost of preserving, moving, routing, caching, and quantizing multimodal representations under latency, memory, and energy constraints. This paper reviews recent adv…
