Prompt Quantity Affects Results in MoE Experiments

This reply details a set of experiments regarding **jspace**: - For larger MoE models, the author notes there is still some "jspace" available, but **fable** makes a significant approximation by only computing on very few layers. - During their experiments, they let the model decide some experimental setups, though it didn't always consider the most reasonable controls, such as: - Validating the impact on a smaller model first; - Checking the impact of varying prompt quantities. - Additionally, the model downloaded the **nvfp4** checkpoint for speed, explicitly acknowledging that this might introduce errors. - The author also mentions that due to the model's massive size, they had to use fewer prompts to estimate jspace (250 vs 1000) and shared previous results on **gemma 3-27B** showing how prompt count affects jspace shape.
