Apple Researchers Discover Scaling Laws Native Multimodal Models
By
–
Researchers from Apple just uncovered scaling laws for native multimodal models. What did they find?
– No clear advantage for late-fusion over early-fusion.
– Early-fusion performs better at small scales.
– Add MoEs, and you unlock modality-specific weights→big performance gains -

Mixture of Routers: Advanced MoE Architecture for DeepSeek
By
–
MoE is powerful and a key foundation for models like DeepSeek. SUES takes it further with Mixture of Routers (MoR), applying MoE to routers! MoR uses multiple subrouters for joint selection, with a learnable main router to weight them—and it performs impressively well.
