Researchers introduce CARE (Confidence-Adaptive Routing of Experts), a drop-in routing rule for MoE-LoRA that dynamically adjusts the number of active experts per token based on router output uncertainty rather than using a fixed top-k. The method uses nucleus-style cumulative mass thresholding with a budget thermostat to hit any target average expert count. Evaluated on LLaMA-3.1-8B and Qwen2.5-7B across commonsense, math, code, and knowledge benchmarks, CARE matches or outperforms fixed top-k baselines at equal compute while also improving out-of-distribution detection.
