MoE Models: Understanding the Dual Parameter Count Discrepancy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models present a unique challenge in parameter counting, as they possess two distinct counts. The publicly advertised parameter count typically refers to the smaller, active set, while the true, larger total parameter count is significantly greater, often more than ten times larger. Self-hosting these models allows users to leverage the full, larger parameter count, which is essential for their complete functionality and performance. AI

IMPACT Understanding the dual parameter count of MoE models is crucial for efficient self-hosting and resource allocation.
