Researchers have developed a novel method to interpret the internal reasoning states of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models, going beyond the standard output trace. They introduced a two-level readout system that distills vocabulary-scale semantic frames into a 64-axis representation called J64, which separates inference effort from problem-induced strain. This J64 representation improves predictive accuracy and can be reconstructed using native expert-routing statistics, creating a low-overhead proxy named R64 that retains most of J64's predictive gains. The system supports test-time decisions and can guide model behavior, with router edits aimed at the named mechanisms inducing predicted reasoning and shifting stalls from guessing to symbolic execution.
