  Overview

Monolithic large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 have enabled modern generative AI applications, but training, serving, and maintaining them at scale remains expensive and challenging.
The Composition of Experts (CoE) approach is a modular alternative that can reduce the cost and complexity, but it faces challen...
