EMO: Pretraining mixture of experts for emergent modularity

đź§  Models: https://huggingface.co/collections/allenai/emo | đź“„ Tech report: https://allenai.org/papers/emo | đź’» Code: https://github.com/allenai/EMO | 📊 Visualization: https://emovisualization.netlify.app/ Today we’re releasing EMO, a new mixture-of-experts (MoE) model pretrained end-to-end so that modular structure emerges directly from the data without relying on human-defined priors. EMO lets you use a small subset of its experts – just 12.5% of the total – for a given task while keeping near full-model performance, and still works as a strong general-purpose model when all experts are used […]

The answer is almost always the same: they print the drawing, read every dimension by hand, walk around the shop checking which tools are available, estimate whether their machines can hold the required tolerances, and write notes on a clipboard. The whole process takes 30 […]
