Multi-tier MoE caching discussed as future of LLM inference

A discussion on Reddit explores the concept of multi-tier Mixture of Experts (MoE) caching as a potential future direction for MoE model inference. The idea involves strategically distributing model experts across CPU and GPU memory to optimize performance, leveraging the observation that a small percentage of experts account for a large portion of activations. Several existing implementations and research papers, such as PowerInfer and Lidenburg's llama.cpp branch, are cited as examples of this approach, which aims to improve inference speeds for large models, particularly in hybrid RAM/VRAM setups. AI

IMPACT Could lead to more efficient inference for large MoE models, potentially improving accessibility and performance on consumer hardware.
