MoE large models may have half of the expert computations actually spent on tokens that don't need experts at all. 1/ 
Half of the expert work is wasted. Although MoE models appear to be quite compute-efficient, research found that many tokens don’t require expert processing at all. ZEDA enables models to “save when appropriate,” skipping up to about 50% of expert computations.
