Edge Cases is AGI, Inc.'s invite-only research night on what it takes to run real intelligence on-device.
Speaker
Shuo Yang, PhD student in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley, advised by Ion Stoica. 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.
