UnverifiedIn MoE models, storage costs are determined by total parameters, while computational costs (FLOPs) are determined by activated parameters.80% similarUnverifiedMoE 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.80% similarUnverifiedTotal parameter count reflects the upper limit of a model's knowledge capacity and expressive power, while activated parameter count determines the computational cost and latency during inference.78% similarUnverifiedFine-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.75% similarVerifiedThe VRAM usage and inference latency of MoE architectures are calculated based on the number of activated parameters, not the total parameter count.74% similar
