arXiv:2603.06626v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Traditional Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) training typically proceeds without any structural priors, effectively requiring the model to simultaneously train expert weights while searching for an optimal routing policy within a vast combinatorial space. This entanglement often leads to sluggish convergence and training instabilities. This paper introduces Grouter, a preemptive routing method that by distilling high-quality structures from fully-trained MoE models and serving as a fixed router for target models. By decoupling structural optimization
The proliferation of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models despite their training complexities necessitates innovations to enhance their efficiency and stability, making preemptive routing a timely development.
This development addresses a fundamental bottleneck in training large MoE models, potentially accelerating AI development and deployment, making advanced AI more accessible and efficient.
The separation of routing policy optimization from expert weight training simplifies the MoE training process, leading to faster convergence and greater stability.
