Researchers have developed a theoretical framework for modularly training large language models (LLMs) by combining smaller, domain-specific expert models. This approach aims to achieve performance comparable to monolithic models while offering robustness across various data mixtures, eliminating the need for heuristic tuning. The framework utilizes a gating mechanism and is formulated as a minimax game, with theoretical guarantees that modularity acts as a strong regularizer. The proposed method can potentially outperform models retrained on aggregate data, with a new algorithm and distillation technique introduced for efficient implementation and empirical validation. AI
