Expert-Space Exploration in MoE Reinforcement Learning· MoE强化学习中的专家空间探索

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become central to post-training of large language models. Recent advances in RL for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have primarily focused on improving optimization stability and training efficiency, while treating the expert selection as a fixed component. Since routing determines the sparse computation paths that induce output distributions, expert selection offers an additional source of rollout diversity. Through empirical analysis, we find that perturbing expert routing effectively alters model output and increases rollout diversity, which is similar to increasing the decoding temperature. However, direct perturbation can activate unsuitable experts and substantially degrade rollout quality. Motivated by these observations, we introduce Expert-Space Exp
