Works on efficient AI systems: LLM inference, GPU optimization and generative AI serving. Maintains FreeToken, an open-source system for running large Mixture-of-Experts models on commodity hardware. **Talk** **FreeToken: Making Frontier MoE Models Accessible on Local Hardware** Why local LLM inference matters, and what gets in the way of running large MoE models on consumer hardware: memory capacity, bandwidth limits and the bottlenecks of CPU/GPU heterogeneous inference. Shuo will walk through the FreeToken system design, including bandwidth-adaptive execution, expert management and disk streaming, then performance results, practical lessons and what this opens up for local AI agents. **Details** - Saturday, December 12, 12:00 PM - Our founders' house in San Francisco. Exact address shared on approval. - 40 minute talk, off-the-record Q&A, then lunch with the group - For AI researchers, PhD students and research engineers - Seats are limited and registration is approval-based More about the series: [theagi.company/edge-cases](https://theagi.company/edge-cases) Want to present your on-device research at a future Edge Cases?
