New method allows MoE models to skip over half of experts

Researchers have developed a new framework called Zero-Expert Self-Distillation Adaptation (ZEDA) to make existing Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models more efficient. ZEDA allows post-trained static MoE models to dynamically skip over half of their experts during inference with minimal accuracy loss. This method was tested on Qwen3-30B-A3B and GLM-4.7-Flash models, demonstrating significant inference speedups and outperforming existing dynamic MoE baselines. AI
