Abstract

FreeToken is an edge-native Mixture-of-Experts serving system that dynamically maps computation and model state onto heterogeneous local hardware to run large open-weight models on personal machines.

Frontier open-weight models are increasingly available, but serving them still largely assumes datacenter infrastructure. We present FreeToken, an edge-native MoE serving system that treats a personal machine not as a small GPU, but as a unified, elastic inference platform. FreeToken co-designs the full serving stack, including model layout and loading, expert residency, CPU--GPU execution, agentic state reuse, and runtime memory management, around two realities of local AI: agent workloads continuously change their execution pattern, and edge hardware exposes heterogeneous resources whose balance differs from machine to machine. Rather than committing to a fixed offloading strategy, FreeToken continuously maps computation and model state onto the resources actually available. FreeToken supports more than 20 MoE models and real coding and tool-using agents across hardware ranging from an 8GB laptop GPU to a single workstation GPU. More importantly, it changes what these machines can practically serve, from a 35B model on a laptop to a 284B model on a gaming desktop and the 753B GLM-5.2 on a single workstation GPU. FreeToken turns open weights into deployable local software, making the machines users already own a practical platform for frontier-scale intelligence. We release the system at flashml.ai.
