Moon et al.

The authors fit each expert projection in selected layers to a compact set of rotor parameters, based on a Clifford-algebra representation that approximates a dense projection using O(log² d) parameters.

In one line

FORGE regenerates MoE expert weights on-chip from compact rotor parameters, replacing HBM weight loads and improving throughput 1.3-2.8x with some accuracy loss.
