All expert parameters of a MoE model must reside in GPU memory simultaneously, and the idle overhead is the primary cost source in engineering deployment of MoE architectures.

UnverifiedMoE models often outperform Dense models of the same parameter scale in inference latency and computational cost, but at the cost of requiring larger VRAM to load all expert weights.77% similarUnverifiedAll 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.76% similarUnverifiedThe MoE architecture uses a router to dynamically select the Top-K experts for computation for each token, allowing the total parameter count to scale while keeping the number of activated parameters per inference constant.73% similarUnverifiedIn MoE models, total parameter count primarily determines memory usage, while the number of parameters activated per token primarily determines speed and cost.71% similarUnverifiedThe large-capacity, small-activation design of MoE allows a model's knowledge capacity and inference cost to be decoupled.71% similar
