Yiping Ma developed a new Mixture of Experts (MoE) switch model for the apple/axlearn repository, targeting scalable experimentation on TPU v6e and Fuji architectures. Using Python and leveraging deep learning and model optimization techniques, Yiping enhanced the model architecture and introduced utilities to infer batch sizes from mesh shapes, enabling efficient distribution and improved throughput. The work included comprehensive test coverage to validate both the MoE switch model and Fuji-specific configurations, such as rematerialization-aware training for optimized memory usage. This engineering effort established a robust foundation for large-scale, cost-efficient MoE experimentation and production readiness on advanced TPU platforms.

July 2025: Delivered a new MoE switch model for TPU v6e testing and added Fuji-architecture support to AxLearn's MoE workflow. Implemented architecture enhancements and utilities to infer batch sizes from mesh shapes for scalable distribution, expanded test coverage, and introduced rematerialization-aware training configurations to optimize performance and memory usage. The work lays the groundwork for scalable MoE experimentation on TPU v6e and Fuji, enabling improved throughput and cost efficiency in large-scale experiments.
