Big model. 2.4T params, 95B active. 4.89TB. Surprised they didn't release a 4-bi

Context

The 95-billion active-parameter figure describes only part of the model discussed in Alex Cheema's deployment post. Qwen's model card lists 2.4 trillion parameters in total and 95 billion activated, with a architecture that selects a subset of its experts for computation.

The linked release contains FP8 weights, which store numerical values at reduced precision. Cheema's proposed four-computer setup explicitly assumes a further reduction to four-bit weights. That makes it a proposal about a different representation of the model, rather than evidence that the linked release has been demonstrated on that setup.

Terms in this piece · Glossary
  • mixture-of-experts — A model built from many specialist sub-networks where only a few activate per token, giving big-model capability at small-model running cost.
  • inference — Running a trained model to get answers — the phase where AI is actually used, as opposed to trained.
