Researchers have developed a method to stabilize expert load distribution in Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models, addressing the issue of fluctuating expert loads that hinder parallelization and resource utilization. By analyzing expert loads during training, they identified transient and stable states and employed prediction algorithms to accurately forecast expert load proportions. For the GPT3 350M model, this approach achieved average error rates of approximately 1.3% and 1.8% for predicting loads over the next 1,000 and 2,000 steps, respectively. This work offers guidance for expert placement and resource allocation in MoE model training. AI
