Introduction

This is a pruned variant of OpenAI's GPT-OSS-20B model, reduced to 7 experts per layer based on activation patterns from the AmanPriyanshu/GPT-OSS-20B MoE Expert Activations dataset. We analyzed router decisions across evaluation benchmarks to identify and retain experts most relevant for health or medicine tasks.

⚠️ Experimental Model: This is an experimental pruned model that may not work well - check the examples below to see if the outputs meet your needs before use.

This pruning approach reduces the model size while attempting to preserve performance on the target domain.

Pruning Methodology

What is Expert Pruning?

Mixture-of-Experts models contain multiple specialized sub-networks (experts) per layer. During inference, only a subset of experts are activated for each token. Expert pruning involves:

Analyzing Usage Patterns: Tracking which experts activate most frequently for specific tasks
Removing Underutilized Experts: Discarding experts with low activation rates for the target domain
Preserving Router Functionality: Maintaining the routing mechanism with fewer available experts

Our Approach

Data-Driven Selection: Used activation patterns from health or medicine evaluation tasks
Systematic Reduction: Reduced from 32 to 7 experts per layer
No Retraining: Direct removal without additional training steps

Performance & Applications

Pruning Benefits

Smaller Memory Footprint: 21.9% of original expert parameters
Reduced Computational Load: Fewer routing decisions during inference
Focused Capabilities: Retains experts relevant to health or medicine tasks

Use Cases

Speculative Decoding: Draft model for full GPT-OSS-20B
Resource-Constrained Deployment: Edge devices, mobile applications
Research: Study expert specialization in MoE models
Fine-tuning: Smaller base model for domain adaptation

Note: Performance may vary depending on how well the pruned experts match your specific use case.

Motivation & Expert Selection

This medical domain model incorporates experts that activated highly during health and medical tasks from MMLU medical subjects. These experts specialize in clinical knowledge, anatomy, medical procedures, and health-related reasoning.

The expert selection process utilized our comprehensive analysis of router activation patterns across multiple evaluation benchmarks:

GPQA: Graduate-level questions in physics, chemistry, biology (Diamond & Expert subsets)
MMLU/MMLU-Pro: Comprehensive knowledge across 57+ subjects including science, medicine, law
SORRY-Bench: Safety evaluation across harmful content categories
Tulu3: Persona-driven instruction following with verifiable constraints
Polyglot-or-Not: Multilingual factual completion tasks

By identifying experts that consistently activated for health or medicine tasks, we created this specialized model that maintains domain expertise while significantly reducing computational requirements from 32 to 7 experts per layer.

Dataset & Analysis Foundation

This model is based on analysis from the GPT-OSS-20B MoE Expert Activations dataset available at: 🔗 https://huggingface.co/datasets/AmanPriyanshu/GPT-OSS-20B-MoE-expert-activations

The dataset contains router activation patterns from OpenAI's GPT-OSS-20B model across diverse evaluation benchmarks, enabling the creation of these domain-optimized models through systematic expert pruning.

Pruning Methodology

Our approach involves:

Activation Analysis: Comprehensive evaluation of expert usage patterns across domain-specific tasks
Expert Ranking: Identification of the most frequently activated experts for target domains
Systematic Pruning: Reduction from 32 to 7 experts while preserving router functionality
Quality Validation: Testing to ensure maintained performance on target tasks

This is a direct pruning approach - no additional training was performed. The model inherits all capabilities from the original GPT-OSS-20B with focused expert selection.
