An architectural design where a large model is split into multiple specialized sub-networks ("experts"), and a routing network dynamically sends specific tokens to only the relevant experts per request.

A top-tier 2020s AI architecture acronym. It creates the image of a boardroom panel of world-renowned human geniuses taking turns answering specific questions, hiding that it's mathematical matrix routing across smaller sub-networks.

• Boardroom Geniuses Metaphor: Framing matrix routing across sub-networks as a panel of human domain experts taking turns speaking.
• Acronym Flex: Dropping "MoE" in corporate strategy meetings to sound like a senior AI researcher.
• Kitchen Reality Check: Like hiring three specialized prep cooks and calling your kitchen a "Mixture of Culinary Experts."

Ocean's Eleven (2000s) scene where Danny Ocean gathers eleven specialized criminals around the table, assigning specific roles—demolitions, acrobatics, card dealing—to each team member.

A software design that splits a model into specialized sub-networks and routes questions only to the relevant parts.

“Our MoE foundation model cuts inference costs by activating only relevant expert networks per query.”

“Our software uses a modular design that routes math questions to a calculation component and text questions to a writing component.”
