# Wtf is a MoEification?!
|
5 |

Turns out, you can slice up the individual MLP layers of a dense language model into even splits of experts.
|
6 |
+
|
7 |
+
What I did here:
|
8 |
+
- Split the MLP projections (gate, down, proj) into the amount of total experts you want (in this case, I just went with 8 experts).
|
9 |
+
- Multiply the values of the parameters for the down-projection by the total amount of experts (so the magnitude of the activation outputs, when averaged linearly together, ends up being equivalent)
|
10 |
+
- Initialize the router layers with zeroes, so the expert usage is completely equal by default and has no unintentional biases as a consequence of random initialization being done the normal way.
|
11 |
+
|
12 |
+
As a result, the model behaves completely coherently when all 8 experts are activated (i.e, experts_per_tok is equal to 8.)

With 4 experts activated, it's... far less coherent.

# Ok but why?
|
21 |
+
|
22 |
+
I am interested in the prospect of continuing to train this in such a way where it can naturally handle variable expert counts, and learn to balance the features.
|

If this works, we can potentially teach the behavior of using less computation for tokens that are trivial to predict, while using more when necessary.
