_*Based on: “Post-Trained MoE Can Skip Half Experts via Self-Distillation” (arXiv:2605.18643, 2026)*_

MoE serving can still overpay on easy tokens, even after sparse routing. This paper targets that exact problem.

MoE already delivered a major scaling win: larger models without dense-model-level compute on every token. But there is still friction in practice. Most post-trained MoE systems route with a fixed expert budget per token, even when the token is easy. As a result, expensive expert compute is ofte
