Diffusion models have emerged as mainstream framework in visual generation. Building upon this success, the integration of Mixture of Experts (MoE) methods has shown promise in enhancing model scalability and performance. In this paper, we introduce Race-DiT, a novel MoE model for diffusion transformers with a flexible routing strategy, Expert Race. By allowing tokens and experts to compete together and select the top candidates, the model learns to dynamically assign experts to critical tokens. Additionally, we propose per-layer regularization to address challenges in shallow layer learning, and router similarity loss to prevent mode collapse, ensuring better expert utilization. Extensive experiments on ImageNet validate the effectiveness of our approach, showcasing significant performance gains while promising scaling properties.

  1. Focusing on What Matters: Saliency-Harnessing Accurate Routing for Diffusion MoE

    cs.CV 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    SharpMoE is a plug-and-play post-training method that uses clean latent features and a trajectory routing loss to enable accurate saliency-based routing in diffusion MoE models for improved visual generation.

  2. Expert-Data Alignment Governs Generation Quality in Decentralized Diffusion Models

    cs.LG 2026-02 reject novelty 5.0

    Sparse Top-2 routing beats full ensemble in decentralized diffusion models, and the paper attributes this to expert-data alignment rather than numerical stability — though much of the supporting evidence is circular.

  3. UltraMemV2: Memory Networks Scaling to 120B Parameters with Superior Long-Context Learning

    cs.LG 2025-08 conditional novelty 4.0

    A redesigned memory-layer architecture with five engineering improvements reaches performance parity with 8-expert MoE at similar compute, with lower memory access and stronger long-context memorization.
