Abstract (arXiv)

The efficient deployment and fine-tuning of foundation models are pivotal in contemporary artificial intelligence. In this study, we present a groundbreaking paradigm integrating Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) with foundation models, specifically designed to enhance local task performance on user equipment (UE). Central to our approach is the innovative Emulator-Adapter architecture, segmenting the foundation model into two cohesive modules. This design not only conserves computational resources but also ensures adaptability and fine-tuning efficiency for downstream tasks. Additionally, we introduce an advanced resource allocation mechanism that is fine-tuned to the needs of the Emulator-Adapter structure in decentralized settings. To address the challenges presented by this system, we employ a hybrid multi-agent Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) strategy, adept at handling mixed discrete-continuous action spaces, ensuring dynamic and optimal resource allocations. Our comprehensive simulations and validations underscore the practical viability of our approach, demonstrating its robustness, efficiency, and scalability. Collectively, this work offers a fresh perspective on deploying foundation models and balancing computational efficiency with task proficiency.
