The goal of this experimental line was to train isolated, high-rank domain experts on specialized STEM corpora and examine whether post-hoc upcycling via uncalibrated linear routers (mergekit-moe) could synthesize dense reasoning models into edge-deployable sparse MoE networks.

Experimental Research Classification:
This model is released publicly as a transparent scientific artifact. Our empirical benchmark findings demonstrated that while this standalone adapter excels in its narrow domain, naive post-hoc MoE stitching without native router pretraining causes attention-FFN desynchronization (see forensic findings below).
During post-training MoE upcycling experiments, this adapter was used in a 4-expert sparse mixture configuration. The experimental run revealed pivotal architectural insights:
In accordance with our empirical post-mortem, our flagship production efforts have pivoted to Allen AI's natively pretrained OLMoE-1B-7B architecture (64 fine-grained experts, Top-8 routing, trained end-to-end on 5.1T Dolma tokens). This adapter remains preserved as a sovereign benchmark baseline.
