Researchers have developed a novel framework for merging multiple AI models into a single, more capable model without requiring additional training. This method addresses the challenge of "superposition," where task-specific features become entangled in the parameter space, leading to performance degradation. By employing Sparse Autoencoders to project task vectors into a high-dimensional sparse feature space, the framework disentangles features at the feature level before fusion. Additionally, a Group-Ranked Zeroth-Order Optimizer is used to efficiently identify critical layers for selective merging, reducing computational costs. Experiments on Qwen2.5 models demonstrated superior performance over existing merging techniques across various tasks, including a notable improvement in a highly conflicting four-task scenario. AI
