This is really cool work!
I wonder if we could generalize even better by introducing modality as feature embedding to the router instead. That is router gets privileged information.

[Embedded images: paper figures — "Mixture-of-Transformer: Sparsity for all non-embedding..." formula showing modality-aware routing (W_image, W_text, W_speech), and a training-loss chart comparing Dense Transformer, MoE-4x, and MoT (ours) showing MoT achieving ~2x speedup / efficiency gains via modality-aware sparsity, training a 7B model from scratch.]
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A technical ML Twitter exchange about the "Mixture-of-Transformers" (MoT) paper (accepted TMLR March 2025), a modality-aware sparse architecture showing ~2x training efficiency gains over dense transformers, with a follow-up suggestion to route based on modality embeddings. General ML architecture research, not directly safety-related but relevant to Nathan's technical tracking of model architecture trends (adjacent to his own brain_graph_1 work on routing/sparsity).
