Practical assistive and rehabilitative brain--computer interfaces require subject-independent motor-imagery EEG (MI-EEG) decoders that generalize to new users under limited target-user data and constrained compute. However, held-out-subject performance can be overstated when test-subject information influences preprocessing, model selection, or ensemble selection. We present ThinkNet, a validation-controlled framework that combines train-only normalization, validation-guided evolutionary search, and validation-gated inference to identify compact decoders and inference policies for held-out subjects. We evaluate four-class BCI Competition IV-2a (session T) decoding with nine Leave-One-Subject-Out (LOSO) folds, three seeds, seven fixed decoder entries, and a broader search over ten representative decoder families; the held-out subject is never used for normalization, hyperparameter, architecture, or ensemble-policy selection. In the fixed benchmark, the validation-selected compact decoder achieved 44.3515.41\% accuracy with 4.9K parameters, 19 KB FP32 weights, and 0.99 ms batch-1 Orin CUDA inference. Across the broader search, compact models (25K parameters) achieved higher mean held-out accuracy than mid-size and large alternatives after selected retraining (40.10\% vs. 35.09\% and 34.78\%). Validation-gated ensembling improved over validation-selected single-model inference, reaching 43.9816.25\% in the fixed benchmark and 43.3115.88\% for the compact six-family ensemble. A non-deployable oracle analysis revealed a 6.1-point family-selection gap and near-zero validation--test correlation, showing that validation reliability remains a key bottleneck under subject shift. Thus, ThinkNet is a validation-controlled framework for compact MI-EEG model and inference-policy selection, rather than a single-architecture benchmark.

Disaggregating the two stages, Prefill and Decode, onto separate GPU pools is now a standard optimization for (text-only) LLM serving. However, multimodal LLMs (MLLMs), which add a third phase, Encode, pose new challenges for resource allocation. Encode turns images, video, or audio into embeddings that the language model can consume, yielding a three-stage Encode-Prefill-Decode (EPD) pipeline. Existing frameworks offer only partial answers: text-only PD systems lack Encode, while EPD frameworks expose it as a separate service without regulating downstream request flow. The pipeline also carries a structural resource imbalance: every request enters through Encode before downstream work can begin, yet per-request execution leaves the encode GPU severely underutilized even at high loads, starving the downstream Prefill and Decode workers. Addressing this, we reposition Encode as the control point of the EPD pipeline, exposing three tightly coupled dimensions: when work enters downstream, where prefill executes, and how the GPU is shared. We instantiate this in EAServe across two co-designed layers. Its runtime manages load-adaptive micro-batching, rate-controlled partial offload to a co-resident prefill worker, and dynamic SM partitioning for predictable co-location. The configuration layer, Hybrid Auto Selection (HAS), navigates the joint space of GPU allocation, encode batch size, and offload ratio by pruning unbalanced allocations with per-stage capacity profiling and refining the remainder through TPE-based Bayesian optimization. Evaluated on three MLLM architectures spanning image, video, and audio, EAServe delivers up to 4.3x and 1.7x higher goodput than NVIDIA Dynamo and vLLM, respectively, under identical SLO constraints, sustains more balanced and higher GPU utilization across the EPD pipeline, and reaches near-optimal configurations faster than baseline search methods.
