## Why Included

ModernMOE applies efficient expert-routing patterns from LLMs to diffusion transformers, improving convergence and quality-cost balance without relying only on larger parameter counts.

## Source Summary

ModernMOE combines routed, shared, and lightweight experts with gate-residual routing and attention-residual reuse in a SiT-style diffusion transformer. Experiments ran on **one eight-H100 node** for **400k steps** with **batch size 256**.

## Practical Implication

For builders training generative models, the useful pattern is architectural: evaluate expert types and information reuse together instead of treating MoE as a single layer swap. Under matched protocols, MMOE produced **lower FID at every recorded checkpoint** than dense and intermediate sparse baselines.

The evidence is limited to the paper's stated training and sampling setup. The supplied material gives no absolute FID values, deployment latency, memory use, or independent replication, so the broader cost advantage remains unquantified.
