  Reposition the README's opening to clarify distributed expert parallelism load balancing

  原因：

  当前

  When using expert parallelism (EP), different experts are assigned to different GPUs. Because the load of different experts may vary depending on the current workload, it is important to keep the load of different GPUs balanced. As described in the DeepSeek-V3 paper, we adopt a **redundant experts** strategy that duplicates heavy-loaded experts. Then, we heuristically pack the duplicated experts to GPUs to ensure load balancing across different GPUs. Moreover, thanks to the **group-limited expert routing** used in DeepSeek-V3, we also attempt to place the experts of the same group to the same node to reduce inter-node data traffic, whenever possible.
  
  To facilitate reproduction and deployment, we open-source our deployed EP load balancing algorithm in `eplb.py`. The algorithm computes a balanced expert replication and placement plan based on the estimated expert loads. Note that the exact method to predict the loads of experts is out of this repo's scope.

  The Expert Parallelism Load Balancer (EPLB) offers a practical algorithm for dynamically balancing expert model workloads across multiple GPUs and nodes in distributed expert parallelism (EP) systems. It ensures efficient resource utilization by intelligently replicating and placing experts based on estimated loads, a strategy proven effective in large-scale models like DeepSeek-V3. To facilitate reproduction and deployment, we open-source our deployed EP load balancing algorithm in `eplb.py`. The algorithm computes a balanced expert replication and placement plan based on the estimated expert loads. Note that the exact method to predict the loads of experts is out of this repo's scope.

  ## Scope and Limitations
  EPLB provides the core algorithm for expert parallelism load balancing in distributed, multi-GPU/multi-node setups. It is designed as a component to manage expert placement and replication, not for building Large Language Models (LLMs) from scratch or for single-node, single-GPU inference. While it integrates with systems like DeepSeek-V3, the implementation of expert load prediction and the full distributed inference pipeline are outside the direct scope of this repository.
