Model shape decisions made before training silently cap serving throughput; this gives the concrete dimension, aspect-ratio and quantizationShrinking a model by storing its numbers less precisely — like rounding — so it runs faster and fits on smaller hardware, at a small quality cost.Full definition → rules that keep a model from running badly on the hardware it will live on.

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.
quantization — Shrinking a model by storing its numbers less precisely — like rounding — so it runs faster and fits on smaller hardware, at a small quality cost.
