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.
