Researchers have introduced a new dimensionless control parameter, E = T*H/(O+B), to predict the health of expert ecologies in Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models. This parameter, derived from four hyperparameters, can prevent "dead experts" without needing handcrafted load-balancing losses. Experiments across vision and language tasks suggest that an E value of 0.5 or higher is sufficient to maintain a healthy expert ecosystem, offering a unified diagnostic tool for MoE training. AI
