Robotics take: get intelligence first, then distill to 27B sparse MoE
ChongZzZhang · x · 2026-11-12
ChongZzZhang argues latency per control step shouldn't be the bottleneck for robot control models: make the model smart first, then distill it into a 27B sparse MoE. The quoted discussion notes that industry practitioners worried about latency echo a familiar pattern — 2010s vision models needed workstations, yet far stronger models now run on tiny IoT processors.
