Researchers have introduced DBES, a new benchmark and metric suite designed to systematically evaluate expert specialization within Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models. This framework moves beyond traditional evaluations by isolating functional specialization from architectural load balancing, employing metrics like Routing Specialization and Domain Isolation. The study revealed distinct specialization patterns in models such as Qwen-series, DeepSeek, and GLM, and demonstrated that DBES metrics can guide post-training optimization, leading to significant performance improvements in specialized domains with reduced resources.
