Geminet learns a lightweight, topology-agnostic update operator that iteratively updates edge-level dual variables (congestion prices) and recovers per-pair split ratios with a softmin recovery, replacing path-level state and deep GNN encoders. The trained model is tiny (0.04%–7% of prior parameter counts), uses <10 GiB memory vs >80 GiB for HARP, consumes ~4% GPU footprint in tests, converges up to 18× faster overall and reaches target policy 3.6× faster on dynamic topologies.
