Although the MoE architecture activates fewer parameters, all 671B parameters still need to be loaded into VRAM for on-demand use, and the model's VRAM consumption is not significantly reduced by the MoE architecture.

VerifiedThe VRAM usage and inference latency of MoE architectures are calculated based on the number of activated parameters, not the total parameter count.77% similarVerifiedAll expert parameters of an MoE model need to reside in memory (even when not activated), which is also why ternary quantization is particularly important for MoE.75% similarUnverifiedThe MoE architecture decouples a model's stored parameter count from its computational parameter count, allowing users to obtain capabilities approaching a 35B large model at an inference cost close to that of a 3B small model.72% similarVerifiedFine-tuning MoE models typically requires loading all parameters and their corresponding optimizer states, placing far greater demands on hardware resources than dense models with equivalent activated parameter counts.71% similar
