When does this happen?

IF Auxiliary balancing loss in MoE models (OLMoE, GPT-Oss) computes f_i without dividing by top_k factor K, causing mismatched distributions between f_i and P_i.

How others solved it

THEN Normalize f_i by dividing the summed token count per expert by K (top_k) so that both f_i and P_i sum to 1. Update the computation to: `tokens_per_expert = torch.sum(expert_mask.float() * expert_attention_mask, dim=0) / (torch.sum(expert_attention_mask, dim=0) * K)`.

# Corrected normalization: divide by top_k
tokens_per_expert = torch.sum(expert_mask.float() * expert_attention_mask, dim=0) / (torch.sum(expert_attention_mask, dim=0) * top_k)
