The inference bottlenecks of MoE models lie mainly in two areas: KV Cache read/write (constrained by memory bandwidth) and GEMM computation for MoE-routed experts (a compute-intensive task with irregular shapes).

VerifiedThe VRAM usage and inference latency of MoE architectures are calculated based on the number of activated parameters, not the total parameter count.74% similarUnverifiedThe MoE architecture decouples parameter scale from computational cost through sparse activation, and models such as Mixtral and DeepSeek have validated its feasibility in practice.74% similarVerifiedThe large-capacity, small-activation design of MoE allows a model's knowledge capacity and inference cost to be decoupled.74% 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.70% similarVerifiedThe inference stage of large models is memory-bound (limited by memory bandwidth); generating each token requires reading the entire model weights from VRAM, resulting in extremely low computational intensity.70% similar
