Why can't we make MoE routers predict experts needed in the next 5-10 tokens?
Summary
The user questions whether Mixture of Experts (MoE) routers can be designed to predict future expert needs for token sequences to enable faster caching between RAM and VRAM, or if a separate neural network could be trained for this purpose.

Share First, Route What Remains: A Unified Framework for Token-Adaptive MoE Computation
This paper proposes UniF-MoE, a unified framework for token-adaptive Mixture-of-Experts computation that first shares reusable computation across experts and then routes the remaining residual demand, improving performance while reducing activated computation, latency, and memory on DomainBed and GLUE benchmarks.
