MoE Makes SSD Streaming Inference Viable
francoisfleuret · x · 2026-07-20
The author argues that MoE enables SSD streaming during inference. This leads to the conclusion that total parameter count essentially doesn't matter; the real payoff comes from the efficiency gains of having fewer active parameters.
Their core takeaway is that under this setup, there are no obvious trade-offs; reducing the number of parameters actually involved in each computation is always a net positive.
