Description
This draft PR introduces an experimental Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) MLP block as a drop-in replacement for the standard dense MLP in the Forecasting Engine.
The goal is to improve predictive skill and increase model capacity by encouraging expert specialization for different atmospheric regimes.
Key Changes:
Interface Preservation: The MoE block maintains the existing forward(*args) signature.
Architecture: Implements a lightweight top-k router and multiple small FFN experts (configurable num_experts, top_k).
Control: Enabled via a config flag (e.g., fe_mlp_type: "moe") for easy testing.
Issue Number
Closes #1000
