The authors trace part of this gap to supervised fine-tuning (SFT). SFT copies reference translations, so the model can only be as good as those references. It also never teaches the model to avoid output that is… 2. **[GRIN: GRadient-INformed MoE](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2024-grin-gradient-informed-moe/)** *(2024 · 7 citations)* Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models activate only a few expert subnetworks per token. 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. **[How Good Are GPT Models at Machine Translation?
