CRAM (Centroid‑Routing and Adaptive MoE) is a method for Multimodal Continual Instruction Tuning that isolates task‑specific patterns into independent modules to reduce catastrophic forgetting. It uses adaptive‑rank instantiation to allocate only the necessary parameters for new tasks, and centroid‑guided routing with an orthogonality penalty to reuse existing experts while preventing interference. Experiments on diverse benchmarks show CRAM outperforms existing approaches.
