Yeah MoE is a little worse for the same size, but you can often run bigger MoEs at respectable speeds even on cpu ram offload. The dense models really need to be 100% vram

I find that running better quantization, like Q8 tend to prevent this even though its a bit slower to run, it saves overall time with less churn

Using 3.6-27b is even slower again than 3.6-35b, but I find the accuracy really pays off

I'm curious about why this is

Outside of an actual test detonation, presumably this could all happen in a secure place?

Surely this will get arbitraged like anything else, where fans who get picks will onsell tickets

So now we need to run farms of spotify accounts playing songs to get our concert tickets?

I can't help but get the feeling you have use-case end-goal in mind that's opaque to many of us who are gpu-ignorant.

It could be helpful if there were an example of the type of application that would be nicer to express through your abstractions.

(I think what you've shown so far is super cool btw)

That's a big assumption. Often there's no time to do things right, or no money, or lack of oversight, and so on.

There is no such requirement.

Wouldn't the assumption be the opposite, in that AI is magnifying the decision making of the engineer and so you get more payback by having the senior drive the AI?
