Routing Drift Alone Does Not Diagnose Failure in Merged MoE LLMs
Model merging efficiently combines specialized large language models (LLMs) without joint retraining, but can substantially alter expert routing in Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models. Such \emph{routing drift} is often interpreted as routing failure, raising a fundamental question that remains unclear: \emph{does routing drift after MoE merging actually indicate routing failure, and what evidence…
