The authors introduce MoLE, a framework that transforms latent tokens into specialized visual experts by controlling both the visual evidence each token receives and how it transforms that evidence.

MoLE applies sparse visual routing per decoder layer to assign visual tokens to subsets of latent visual experts, and uses Expert-Specific Value Adapters (ESVAs) to transform evidence differently.

In one line

In latent visual reasoning, specializing latent experts to complementary evidence improves performance more than increasing the number of latent tokens.
