Reddit user proposes disk-based MoE offloading for larger models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is proposing new features for Mixture of Experts (MoE) models, specifically suggesting "--disk-moe" or "--n-disk-moe" options. These would allow for offloading model layers to disk or central processing units (CPUs) in addition to graphics processing units (GPUs), enabling larger models to run on less powerful hardware. AI

IMPACT Enables running larger models on consumer hardware by leveraging disk storage for offloading.
