Selective Sinkhorn Routing for Improved Sparse Mixture of Experts

arXiv:2511.08972v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (SMoE) models are scalable and computationally efficient, enabling large increases in model capacity with limited inference overhead. Existing SMoE methods often depend on auxiliary objectives, such as load-balancing loss and z-loss, or additional trainable components such as noisy gating. While these techniques encourage expert diversity, they can introduce objective misalignment, increase model complexity, or incur substantial training overhead, especially in Sinkhorn-based routing methods. In this paper, we revisi
