The authors propose MoRE, which replaces the standard linear router in mixture-of-experts layers with a low-rank factorization, reducing per-token cost from Θ(Mh) to O((h+M)r).

The authors introduce Mixture of Rank-reduced-routed Experts (MoRE), which factorizes the router weight matrix at rank r.
