MoRE: Mixture of Reused Experts is a hybrid architecture that combines Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) with weight‑sharing techniques. It shares expert pools across adjacent layers while each layer keeps its own router, and introduces lightweight depth embeddings to help shared experts differentiate layer contexts. Experiments on models ranging from 114 M to 1.15 B parameters show MoRE achieves lower perplexity and better downstream performance than standard MoEs and other weight‑sharing models, with only minimal changes to existing MoE implementations.

arXiv:2512. 13996v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sparse Mixture-of-Experts architectures are essential for scaling model capacity efficiently, yet the standard Top-$k$ routing imposes a rigid sparsity pattern that ignores the intrinsic variance in token difficulty and layer-specific computational needs.

The paper investigates how routing decisions in sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) models evolve across layers. By aligning router control subspaces with generalized orthogonal Procrustes analysis, the authors find that a single linear transition can predict routing states across depth with substantial accuracy, revealing a shared geometric structure. They further demonstrate that these canonical states preserve expert selection better than generic hidden representations and improve next‑step routing predictions, reducing negative log‑likelihood by up to 15.7% on OLMoE and 6.2% on Phi.
