Sparse Mixture of Experts: Architecture Evolution, Gating Mechanisms, and Production Deployment in Frontier LLMs
Comprehensive analysis of Sparse Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture: historical evolution from dense to sparse expert systems, gating mechanisms (load-balanced, auxiliary loss, hybrid routing), recent breakthrough designs (Gated DeltaNet + MoE hybrids), and production deployments in Qwen3.6, MiniMax M2.7, DeepSeek V4, and other frontier models. Covers efficiency gains, expert specialization, and implementation strategies.
