The effectiveness of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models is being questioned, with some arguing that their active parameters are not comparable to dense models of similar size. This perspective suggests that if a large MoE model is only utilizing a fraction of its parameters, a smaller dense model might offer better performance and speed. However, the discussion also highlights that the router's ability to select the most relevant experts is crucial for an MoE model to reach its full potential, implying a more nuanced comparison than simply active vs. total parameters.
