Abstract
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.
