Switch FFN
Introduced by William Fedus et al. in Switch Transformers: Scaling to Trillion Parameter Models with Simple and Efficient Sparsity
archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
A Switch FFN is a sparse layer that operates independently on tokens within an input sequence. It is shown in the blue block in the figure. We diagram two tokens (x₁ = “More” and x₂ = “Parameters” below) being routed (solid lines) across four FFN experts, where the router independently routes each token. The switch FFN layer returns the output of the selected FFN multiplied by the router gate value (dotted-line).

Tasks archive 2025-07-28
20 shown of 30 tasks the archive attaches to papers tagged with this method, by distinct papers. A task without a page in the catalog is plain text.
Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
