🏗️ Architecture Details

Mixture of Experts Layer

The model enhances every other transformer layer with a MoE routing system:

Input Token → Gating Network → Route to Top-2 Experts → Weighted Combination → Output

Key Components:

8 Expert Networks: Each specializes in different patterns
Sparse Gating: Only top-2 experts activated per token
Load Balancing: Ensures even expert utilization
Residual Connections: Preserves base model capabilities

Advantages:

⚡ 3x more parameter-efficient than dense models
🎯 Better specialization for diverse tasks
💰 Lower inference cost (sparse activation)
📈 Scalable to more experts without linear cost increase

💻 Usage

Quick Start

python

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, GPTNeoXForCausalLM

# Load tokenizer (from Pythia for better template support)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("EleutherAI/pythia-160m")

# Load base model
base_model = GPTNeoXForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Kiy-K/moe-gpt-neox-125m-v1.1")

# For full MoE functionality, you'll need the MoEGPTNeoX wrapper
# (See architecture code in repository)

# Basic generation example (with base model)
text = "def fibonacci(n):"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = base_model.generate(
        **inputs,
        max_length=100,
        temperature=0.7,
        top_p=0.9,
        do_sample=True
    )

print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Loading MoE Layers

python

from safetensors.torch import load_file

# Load MoE weights
moe_weights = load_file("moe_layers.safetensors")

# Apply to your MoEGPTNeoX wrapper
# (Full implementation in training script)

Generation Parameters

Recommended settings:

python

# For creative tasks (code, stories)
generation_config = {
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "top_p": 0.9,
    "top_k": 50,
    "repetition_penalty": 1.1
}

# For factual tasks (Q&A, documentation)
generation_config = {
    "temperature": 0.3,
    "top_p": 0.85,
    "top_k": 40,
    "repetition_penalty": 1.0
}
