    KTransformers: CPU/GPU Hybrid Inference for MoE Models

    How KTransformers (SOSP '25) runs the 671B DeepSeek-V3 on one GPU plus a dual-socket Xeon: AMX-aware CPU kernels, a single CUDA Graph for the whole decode step, NUMA-aware tensor parallelism, and Expert Deferral, which overlaps CPU and GPU by letting some experts arrive one layer late.
