Expert Upcycling: Shifting the Compute-Efficient Frontier of Mixture-of-Experts

Chaitanya Dwivedi, Binxuan Huang, Himanshu Gupta +3

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) has become the dominant architecture for scaling large language models: frontier models routinely decouple total parameters from per-token computation thro…
