arXiv:2610.26891v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse routing reduces per-token computation but leaves the full expert bank resident in memory. We study expert pruning for speech-centric omni-modal models, where pooling calibration statistics can obscure the different expert demands of acoustic-input processing and text-answer generation. We propose PW-Pruning, a phase-aware extension of DO-ACP that constructs separate importance-weighted kernels for acoustic-prefill and teacher-forced answer tokens, then combines phase-weighted log-determinant marginal gains to select one static expert ban
