However, the discrete routing step has no true gradient, so standard training substitutes the gating gradient. Large-scale MoE training also usually relies on expert parallelism, which forces capacity limits and discards overflow… ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
