😎 What's Interesting?

Dynamic Mixture of Experts (DynMoE) incorporates (1) a novel gating method that enables each token to automatically determine the number of experts to activate. (2) An adaptive process automatically adjusts the number of experts during training.

Top-Any Gating

Adaptive Training Process

πŸ’‘ Model Details

  • πŸ€” DynMoE-Qwen is a MoE model with dynamic top-k gating, finetuned on LanguageBind/MoE-LLaVA-Qwen-Stage2.
  • πŸš€ Our DynMoE-Qwen-1.8B has totally 3.1B parameters, but only 2.2B are activated! (average top-k = 1.86)
  • βŒ› With the DynMoE tuning stage, we can complete training on 8 A100 GPUs within 40 hours.
