More to the argument that we need a model of models - one general one that calls specialists in to do what they are good at and handles that like a foreman for you.

This is somewhat akin to the "one-expert-per-query" solution Apple are using in their small foundation models I think?

[kaycey2022]

Is that different from mixture of experts?

[int_19h]

Yes. A mixture of experts is a single model that activates different routes though the same weights, with the route possibly changing literally on every token. It's not experts as in a bunch of standalone models that are good at specific high-level tasks.

On the other hand the standalone models would all need "basic" knowledge, so I'm assuming this would be much less disk space-efficient.
