# Introduction
In this paper, we present Mixtral 8x7B, a sparse mixture of experts model (SMoE) with open weights, licensed under Apache 2.0. Mixtral outperforms Llama 2 70B and GPT-3.5 on most benchmarks. As it only uses a subset of its parameters for every token, Mixtral allows faster inference speed at low batch-sizes, and higher throughput at large batch-sizes.
Mixtral is a sparse mixture-of-experts network. It is a decoder-only model where the feedforward block picks from a set of 8 distinct groups of parameters. At every layer, for every token, a router network chooses two of these groups (the âexpertsâ) to process the token and combine their output additively. This technique increases the number of parameters of a model while controlling cost and latency, as the model only uses a fraction of the total set of parameters per token.
Mixtral is pretrained with multilingual data using a context size of 32k tokens. It either matches or exceeds the performance of Llama 2 70B and GPT-3.5, over several benchmarks. In particular,
Mixture of Experts Layer i gating inputs af outputs router expert
Figure 1: Mixture of Experts Layer. Each input vector is assigned to 2 of the 8 experts by a router. The layerâs output is the weighted sum of the outputs of the two selected experts. In Mixtral, an expert is a standard feedforward block as in a vanilla transformer architecture.
Mixtral demonstrates superior capabilities in mathematics, code generation, and tasks that require multilingual understanding, significantly outperforming Llama 2 70B in these domains. Experiments show that Mixtral is able to successfully retrieve information from its context window of 32k tokens, regardless of the sequence length and the location of the information in the sequence.
We also present Mixtral 8x7B â Instruct, a chat model fine-tuned to follow instructions using supervised fine-tuning and Direct Preference Optimization [25]. Its performance notably surpasses that of GPT-3.5 Turbo, Claude-2.1, Gemini Pro, and Llama 2 70B â chat model on human evaluation benchmarks. Mixtral â Instruct also demonstrates reduced biases, and a more balanced sentiment profile in benchmarks such as BBQ, and BOLD. We release both Mixtral 8x7B and Mixtral 8x7B â Instruct under the Apache 2.0 license1, free for academic and commercial usage, ensuring broad accessibility and potential for diverse applications. To enable the community to run Mixtral with a fully open-source stack, we submitted changes to the vLLM project, which integrates Megablocks CUDA kernels for efficient inference. Skypilot also allows the deployment of vLLM endpoints on any instance in the cloud.
# 2 Architectural details
Mixtral is based on a transformer architecture [31] and uses the same modifications as described in [18], with the notable exceptions that Mix- tral supports a fully dense context length of 32k tokens, and the feed- forward blocks are replaced by Mixture-of-Expert layers (Section 2.1). The model architecture parameters are summarized in Table 1. Parameter Value

# 2.1 Sparse Mixture of Experts
We present a brief overview of the Mixture of Experts layer (Figure 1). For a more in-depth overview, see [12]. The output of the MoE module for a given input x is determined by the weighted sum of the outputs of the expert networks, where the weights are given by the gating networkâs output. i.e. given n expert networks {E0, Ei, ..., Enâ1}, the output of the expert layer is given by: Table 1: Model architecture.
# j nâ
G(x)i · Ei(x). i=0
Here, G(x)i denotes the n-dimensional output of the gating network for the i-th expert, and Ei(x) is the output of the i-th expert network. If the gating vector is sparse, we can avoid computing the outputs of experts whose gates are zero. There are multiple alternative ways of implementing G(x) [6, 15, 35], but a simple and performant one is implemented by taking the softmax over the Top-K logits of a linear layer [28]. We use
G(x) := Softmax(TopK(x · Wg)),
where (TopK(â))i := âi if âi is among the top-K coordinates of logits â â Rn and (TopK(â))i := ââ otherwise. The value of K â the number of experts used per token â is a hyper-parameter that modu- lates the amount of compute used to process each token. If one increases n while keeping K fixed, one

can increase the modelâs parameter count while keeping its computational cost effectively constant. This motivates a distinction between the modelâs total parameter count (commonly referenced as the sparse parameter count), which grows with n, and the number of parameters used for processing an individual token (called the active parameter count), which grows with K up to n.
MoE layers can be run efficiently on single GPUs with high performance specialized kernels. For example, Megablocks [13] casts the feed-forward network (FFN) operations of the MoE layer as large sparse matrix multiplications, significantly enhancing the execution speed and naturally handling cases where different experts get a variable number of tokens assigned to them. Moreover, the MoE layer can be distributed to multiple GPUs through standard Model Parallelism techniques, and through a particular kind of partitioning strategy called Expert Parallelism (EP) [28]. During the MoE layerâs execution, tokens meant to be processed by a specific expert are routed to the corresponding GPU for processing, and the expertâs output is returned to the original token location. Note that EP introduces challenges in load balancing, as it is essential to distribute the workload evenly across the GPUs to prevent overloading individual GPUs or hitting computational bottlenecks.
In a Transformer model, the MoE layer is applied independently per token and replaces the feed-forward (FFN) sub-block of the transformer block. For Mixtral we use the same SwiGLU architecture as the expert function Ei(x) and set K = 2. This means each token is routed to two SwiGLU sub-blocks with different sets of weights. Taking this all together, the output y for an input token x is computed as:
n-1 y= Ss Softmax(Top2(a - W,)); - SwiGLU;(a). i=0
This formulation is similar to the GShard architecture [21], with the exceptions that we replace all FFN sub-blocks by MoE layers while GShard replaces every other block, and that GShard uses a more elaborate gating strategy for the second expert assigned to each token.

Figure 3: Results on MMLU, commonsense reasoning, world knowledge and reading comprehension, math and code for Mistral (7B/8x7B) vs Llama 2 (7B/13B/70B). Mixtral largely outperforms Llama 2 70B on all benchmarks, except on reading comprehension benchmarks while using 5x lower active parameters. It is also vastly superior to Llama 2 70B on code and math.
Detailed results for Mixtral, Mistral 7B and Llama 2 7B/13B/70B and Llama 1 34B2 are reported in Table 2. Figure 2 compares the performance of Mixtral with the Llama models in different categories. Mixtral surpasses Llama 2 70B across most metrics. In particular, Mixtral displays a superior performance in code and mathematics benchmarks.
Size and Efficiency. We compare our performance to the Llama 2 family, aiming to understand Mixtral modelsâ efficiency in the cost-performance spectrum (see Figure 3). As a sparse Mixture- of-Experts model, Mixtral only uses 13B active parameters for each token. With 5x lower active parameters, Mixtral is able to outperform Llama 2 70B across most categories.
Note that this analysis focuses on the active parameter count (see Section 2.1), which is directly proportional to the inference compute cost, but does not consider the memory costs and hardware utilization. The memory costs for serving Mixtral are proportional to its sparse parameter count, 47B, which is still smaller than Llama 2 70B. As for device utilization, we note that the SMoEs layer introduces additional overhead due to the routing mechanism and due to the increased memory loads when running more than one expert per device. They are more suitable for batched workloads where one can reach a good degree of arithmetic intensity.
Comparison with Llama 2 70B and GPT-3.5. In Table 3, we report the performance of Mixtral 8x7B compared to Llama 2 70B and GPT-3.5. We observe that Mixtral performs similarly or above the two other models. On MMLU, Mixtral obtains a better performance, despite its significantly smaller capacity (47B tokens compared to 70B). For MT Bench, we report the performance of the latest GPT-3.5-Turbo model available, gpt-3.5-turbo-1106.

Evaluation Differences. On some benchmarks, there are some differences between our evaluation protocol and the one reported in the Llama 2 paper: 1) on MBPP, we use the hand-verified subset 2) on TriviaQA, we do not provide Wikipedia contexts.
# 3.1 Multilingual benchmarks
Compared to Mistral 7B, we significantly upsample the proportion of multilingual data during pretraining. The extra capacity allows Mixtral to perform well on multilingual benchmarks while maintaining a high accuracy in English. In particular, Mixtral significantly outperforms Llama 2 70B in French, German, Spanish, and Italian, as shown in Table 4.

# 3.2 Long range performance
To assess the capabilities of Mixtral to tackle long context, we evaluate it on the passkey retrieval task introduced in [23], a synthetic task designed to measure the ability of the model to retrieve a passkey inserted randomly in a long prompt. Results in Figure 4 (Left) show that Mixtral achieves a 100% retrieval accuracy regardless of the context length or the position of passkey in the sequence. Figure 4 (Right) shows that the perplexity of Mixtral on a subset of the proof-pile dataset [2] decreases monotonically as the size of the context increases.

# 3.3 Bias Benchmarks
To identify possible flaws to be corrected by fine-tuning / preference modeling, we measure the base model performance on Bias Benchmark for QA (BBQ) [24] and Bias in Open-Ended Language Generation Dataset (BOLD) [10]. BBQ is a dataset of hand-written question sets that target attested social biases against nine differ- ent socially-relevant categories: age, dis- ability status, gender identity, nationality, physical appearance, race/ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, sexual orientation. BOLD is a large-scale dataset that consists of 23,679 English text generation prompts for bias benchmarking across five domains.

Figure 5: Bias Benchmarks. Compared Llama 2 70B, Mixtral presents less bias (higher accuracy on BBQ, lower std on BOLD) and displays more positive sentiment (higher avg on BOLD).
We benchmark Llama 2 and Mixtral on BBQ and BOLD with our evaluation framework and report the results in Table 5. Compared to Llama 2, Mixtral presents less bias on the BBQ benchmark (56.0% vs 51.5%). For each group in BOLD, a higher average sentiment score means more positive sentiments and a lower standard deviation indicates less bias within the group. Overall, Mixtral displays more positive sentiments than Llama 2, with similar variances within each group.
# Instruction Fine-tuning
We train Mixtral â Instruct using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on an instruction dataset followed by Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) [25] on a paired feedback dataset. Mixtral â Instruct reaches a score of 8.30 on MT-Bench [33] (see Table 2), making it the best open-weights model as of December 2023. Independent human evaluation conducted by LMSys is reported in Figure 63 and shows that Mixtral â Instruct outperforms GPT-3.5-Turbo, Gemini Pro, Claude-2.1, and Llama 2 70B chat.

# 5 Routing analysis
In this section, we perform a small analysis on the expert selection by the router. In particular, we are interested to see if during training some experts specialized to some specific domains (e.g. mathematics, biology, philosophy, etc.).
To investigate this, we measure the distribution of selected experts on different subsets of The Pile validation dataset [14]. Results are presented in Figure 7, for layers 0, 15, and 31 (layers 0 and 31 respectively being the first and the last layers of the model). Surprisingly, we do not observe obvious patterns in the assignment of experts based on the topic. For instance, at all layers, the distribution of expert assignment is very similar for ArXiv papers (written in Latex), for biology (PubMed Abstracts), and for Philosophy (PhilPapers) documents.
Only for DM Mathematics we note a marginally different distribution of experts. This divergence is likely a consequence of the datasetâs synthetic nature and its limited coverage of the natural language spectrum, and is particularly noticeable at the first and last layers, where the hidden states are very correlated to the input and output embeddings respectively.
This suggests that the router does exhibit some structured syntactic behavior. Figure 8 shows examples of text from different domains (Python code, mathematics, and English), where each token is highlighted with a background color corresponding to its selected expert. The figure shows that words such as âselfâ in Python and âQuestionâ in English often get routed through the same expert even though they involve multiple tokens. Similarly, in code, the indentation tokens are always assigned to the same experts, particularly at the first and last layers where the hidden states are more correlated to the input and output of the model.
We also note from Figure 8 that consecutive tokens are often assigned the same experts. In fact, we observe some degree of positional locality in The Pile datasets. Table 5 shows the proportion of con- secutive tokens that get the same expert assignments per domain and layer. The proportion of repeated

The gray dashed vertical line marks 1/8, i.e. the proportion expected with uniform sampling. Here, we consider experts that are either selected as a first or second choice by the router. A breakdown of the proportion of assignments done in each case cane be seen in Figure 9 in the Appendix.

Table 5: Percentage of expert assignment repetitions. We evaluate the proportion of times the same expert is assigned to a token i and its following token i+1. We report whether the first chosen expert is the same, or whether the same expert is observed as first or second choice in consecutive tokens. For reference, the expected proportion of repetitions in the case of random assignments is 1 5 7 â 46% for âFirst and second choiceâ. Repetitions at the first layer are close to random, but are significantly higher at layers 15 and 31. The high number of repetitions shows that expert choice exhibits high temporal locality at these layers.
consecutive assignments is significantly higher than random for higher layers. This has implications in how one might optimize the model for fast training and inference. For example, cases with high locality are more likely to cause over-subscription of certain experts when doing Expert Parallelism. Conversely, this locality can be leveraged for caching, as is done in [11]. A more complete view of these same expert frequency is provided for all layers and across datasets in Figure 10 in the Appendix.
# 6 Conclusion
In this paper, we introduced Mixtral 8x7B, the first mixture-of-experts network to reach a state-of-the- art performance among open-source models. Mixtral 8x7B Instruct outperforms Claude-2.1, Gem- ini Pro, and GPT-3.5 Turbo on human evaluation benchmarks. Because it only uses two experts at each time step, Mixtral only uses 13B active parameters per token while outperforming the previous best model using 70B parameters per token (Llama 2 70B). We are making our trained and fine-tuned mod- els publicly available under the Apache 2.0 license. By sharing our models, we aim to facilitate the de- velopment of new techniques and applications that can benefit a wide range of industries and domains.

# Abstract
With the widespread adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs), many deep learning practitioners are looking for strategies of running these models more efficiently. One such strategy is to use sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) â a type of model architectures where only a fraction of model layers are active for any given input. This property allows MoE-based language models to generate tokens faster than their âdenseâ counterparts, but it also increases model size due to having multiple âexpertsâ. Unfortunately, this makes state-of-the-art MoE language models difficult to run without high-end GPUs. In this work, we study the problem of running large MoE language models on consumer hardware with limited accelerator memory. We build upon parameter offloading algorithms and propose a novel strategy that accelerates offloading by taking advantage of innate properties of MoE LLMs. Using this strategy, we build can run Mixtral-8x7B with mixed quantization on desktop hardware and free-tier Google Colab instances.
# Introduction
Many recent advances in natural language processing rely on large pre-trained language models, such as GPT-3 and 4 Brown et al. (2020); OpenAI (2023), Palm & Gemini Chowdhery et al. (2022); Team et al. (2023) and many others. However, the rapid scientific progress in this area would be impossible without open-access LLMs such as LLaMA 1 and 2 (Touvron et al., 2023), Falcon (TII UAE, 2023), BLOOM (Scao et al., 2022), OPT (Zhang et al., 2022), or NeoX/Pythia (Biderman et al., 2023). The key advantage of open-access LLMs is that researchers can deploy them locally and modify them in ways that would be impossible with proprietary APIs.
Even though LLM parameters are openly available, it is still difficult to use these models due to their sheer size. State-of-the-art open-access language models require multiple high-end GPUs 1 even for basic inference workloads. To use these LLMs on more affordable hardware setups, one must either compress model parameters (Dettmers et al., 2022; Frantar et al., 2022) or offload parameters to a cheaper storage, be it RAM or SSD (Pudipeddi et al., 2020; Sheng et al., 2023).
Several recent works modify transformer architecture by introducing sparse Mixture-of-Experts blocks (Jacobs et al., 1991; Shazeer et al., 2017). MoE blocks contain multiple âexpertsâ (layers), as well as a âgating functionâ that selects which experts are used on a given input. As a result, the MoE block uses a small portion of all âexpertsâ for any single forward pass, allowing for more compute-efficient training Fedus et al. (2021); Du et al. (2022). Notably, MoEs are among the largest Fedus et al. (2021) and among the best Mixtral AI team (2023) of available LLMs. While Mixture-of-Experts models can be more efficient than their dense counterparts, many techniques for efficient LLM inference were not designed with MoE in mind and perform suboptimally on modern large language models that use mixture-of-experts layers.
1When deployed in 16-bit precision, Falcon-180B needs approximately 360GB, while LLaMA-2 70B requires 140GB of combined accelerator memory.
In this work, we systematically develop techniques for running large MoE language models with limited GPU memory. Our main objective is inferencing (generating tokens) with Mixtral-8x7B- Instruct â a MoE-based chat assistant â on a desktop-grade hardware where only a fraction of experts fit into the accelerator memory. To that end:
we observe how MoE language model accesses its experts between tokens, and find several regularities: i) some experts are reused between adjacent tokens and ii) the model hidden states of early layers already âknowâ which experts are to be used at subsequent layers. ⢠we design a MoE-specific offloading strategy that takes advantage of these regularities: i) it uses LRU cache to significantly reduces GPU-RAM communication, leading to faster generation and ii) it guesses which experts are needed ahead of time to better overlap expert loading with computation.
⢠we consider the specific scenario of running Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct on a T4, RTX 3060 and RTX 3080 Mobile and develop a practical combination of mixed quantization and the proposed offloading algorithm to run this model interactively at 2-3 tokens per second depending on the hardware. The source code with our implementation is available online2
# 2 Background & Related Work
# 2.1 Mixture-of-Experts
The recent surge in MoE language models builds on a relatively old idea (Jacobs et al., 1991; Jordan & Jacobs, 1994) of training ensembles of specialized models (âexpertsâ) and a gating function to select the right expert for the task. To achieve specialization, Mixture-of-Experts learn by simultaneously i) training the gating function to choose the best experts and ii) training the experts themselves on samples assigned to them by the gating function. Since then, many different MoE variants emerged, including mixture of SVM models (Collobert et al., 2002), Dirichlet processes (Shahbaba & Neal, 2009) and various neural networks.
Shazeer et al. (2017) builds on this idea to train a sparsely gated Mixture-of-Experts to serve as a language model. The full model consists of a recurrent neural network backbone and a MoE module with up to 131072 experts. When processing a given token, a linear gating function select 4 most suitable experts based on the latest hidden state. The resulting model (including the gating function and experts) is trained end-to-end to minimize cross-entropy, with an additional regularizer to promote equal expert utilization. Shazeer et al. (2017) observed that the MoE model not only improves perplexity, but also learns interpretable expert specializations: some experts would âspecializeâ on prepositions, while others learn to express a particular concept (e.g. speed).
Since then, several lines of work explore Mixture-of-Experts with Transformer-based language models for machine translation Lepikhin et al. (2020), masked language modeling Fedus et al. (2021), general-purpose LLMs Du et al. (2022) and others. Most of these models follow traditional (dense) Transformer architecture for embeddings and attention layers, and only use Mixture for the feedforward (MLP) blocks and use a linear token-level gating function. A common observation across most of these works is that MoE models are cheaper to train and inference Fedus et al. (2021); Lepikhin et al. (2020), but require more parameters than a dense model with equivalent perplexity. Pre-trained Mixture-of-Experts LLMs have been openly available for over a year3. However, these models seem to have gained less traction than equivalent dense models, arguable because their sheer model size (over a trillion parameters) makes them difficult to use. Most recently, Mistral AI released a family of sparse Mixture of Experts models called Mixtral-8x7B with near state-of-the-art performance Mixtral AI team (2023). This model has already inspired several follow-up works and practical applications, but it still requires a high-end GPU accelerator.
# 2.2 Post-training Quantization of LLMs
A natural way to circumvent this is to reduce the model size through quantization (Nagel et al., 2020; Gholami et al., 2021; Frantar et al., 2022), sparsification Frantar & Alistarh (2023a); Ma et al. (2023),
2https://github.com/dvmazur/mixtral-offloading 3https://huggingface.co/google/switch-c-2048, released in November 15th, 2022

factorization Hsu et al. (2022), or a combination thereof. These compression types are not specific to LLMs and are based on much older methods outside the scope of our work4. However, recent works found that there are unique challenges to quantizing very large transformer-based language models due to emergent outliersDettmers et al. (2022); Lin et al. (2023); Dettmers et al. (2023).
Generally speaking, the optimal compression rate for most LLMs is 4 bits per parameter Dettmers & Zettlemoyer (2022). While there are more extreme algorithms for 3- and even 2-bit compression Chee et al. (2023); Lin et al. (2023); Dettmers et al. (2023), they are typically inferior to choosing a smaller model and quantizing it to around 4 bits. Most recently, there has been several concurrent works for quantizing Mixture-of-Experts models (Kim et al., 2023; Frantar & Alistarh, 2023b).
# Inference with Parameter Offloading
A recent line of work explores inferencing and training large models with limited accelerator mem- ory by âoffloadingâ their parameters to another, cheaper memory, such as system RAM or even SSD (Pudipeddi et al., 2020; Ren et al., 2021). This technique works by loading model parameters just-in-time when they are needed for computation. Since most deep learning models use layers in a fixed order, offloading can pre-dispatch the next layer parameters in the background, ahead of time.
This technique works particularly well when processing large batches of data, during train- ing Pudipeddi et al. (2020); Ren et al. (2021) or large-batch non-interactive inference Aminabadi et al. (2022); Sheng et al. (2023), where each layer processes a lot of tokens each time the layer is loaded from RAM. In turn, when doing interactive inference (e.g. as a chat assistants), offloading works significantly slower than on-device inference. This is because interactive inference generates tokens autoregressively, from left to right. This way, the inference system processes one or few tokens at a time, and therefore spends most of the time waiting for next layerâs parameters to be loaded.
# 2.4 Hardware Setup
While our analysis is not specific to any hardware setup, we target the hardware specifications of cheap / free-tier cloud instances Google (2023) and the upper half of gaming computers Steam (2023): i) enough system memory to hold model parameters, ii) a GPU with 11-16GB VRAM and iii) host-to-device communication at 8-16GB/s (PCIe Gen.3). If we examine popular open-access MoE models (Mixtral-8x7B and switch-c-2048), we find that all non-experts can fit a fraction of available GPU memory. In turn, the experts that constitute vast majority of model parameters do not fit even with quantization. Finally, even if we could fit the model parameters in memory, running generative inference requires additional memory for layer activations and past attention keys & values.
# 3 Method
In this work, we aim to systematically find the optimal way to inference modern Mixture-of-Experts LLMs on desktop or low-end cloud instances. More specifically, we focus on the task of generating tokens interactively, i.e. generate multiple tokens per second at batch size 15.
The generative inference workload consists of two phases: 1) encoding the input prompt and 2) generating tokens conditioned on that prompt. The key difference between these two phases is that prompt tokens are encoded in parallel (layer-by-layer), whereas the generation runs sequentially (token-by-token and layer-by-layer). In general, phase 1 works relatively well with existing Mixture- of-Experts algorithms, since each layer can only be loaded once for the entire prompt. In turn, when generating tokens, one must load layer once per each token generated. In practice, this means that inference speed is limited by how fast one can fetch parameters from system memory.
Below, we look for patterns in how the MoE model loads its experts and propose ways to exploit these patterns to speed up inference time.
4To learn more about these methods, please refer to surveys such as Gholami et al. (2021); Liang et al. (2021) 5As opposed to running a processing a large batch of texts over many seconds, as in Sheng et al. (2023)

# 3.1 Expert Locality and LRU caching
As we discussed earlier in Section 2.1, Mixture-of-Experts language models were often observed to assign individual experts to distinct sub-tasks. However, this does not mean that the model uses the same expert over long stretches of tokens. Instead, some experts are active in short sequences of 2-4 tokens, while others are often used with âgapsâ, as shown in Figure 1.
To take advantage of this pattern, we can keep active experts in GPU memory as a âcacheâ for future tokens. If the same experts are activated again in future, they will be available instantaneously. Naturally, the number of experts that can be stored this way if very limited by the available GPU memory. For simplicity, we choose to always keep k least recently used experts as a type of LRU cache. If k is greater than the number of active experts, the cache will save experts from multiple previous tokens. For simplicity, we keep the same number of cached experts for each MoE layer.
We illustrate an example of how LRU cache saves experts in Figure 1 (see caption). LRU is a very simple strategy that does not consider factors like expert activation frequencies, varying cache size between MoE layers, or any sequential patterns in expert activation. However, we found that even this simple strategy can significantly speed up inference for modern Mixture-of-Experts models such as Mixtral-8x7B (see Section 4 for detailed evaluation).
# 3.2 Speculative Expert Loading
While LRU caching can reduce the average expert loading time, most of the inference time is still spent waiting for the next expert to be loaded. The reason behind this is that, unlike with dense models, MoE offloading cannot effectively overlap expert loading with computation. To understand this problem, let us zoom into the process of generating a single token, layer-by-layer. The full compute workload starts by embedding the previous token via look-up, then alternates between running self-attention and MLP for each transformer block in the model. Finally, the outputs from the last transformer block are used to predict next token logits with a linear projection.
For regular (dense) models, this architecture allows for efficient offloading schedule that pre-loads the next transformer layer ahead of time, while the previous layer is still running. Unfortunately, this schedule is no longer possible for Mixture-of-Experts models, where MoE MLP layers choose which experts to load just-in-time for computation. This is because the system cannot pre-fetch the next layer until it learns which experts should be loaded. Modern open-access MoE language models choose active experts using the final outputs of the previous layer, which means they cannot be pre-fetched them in parallel with previous layer. While it is not possible6 to pre-reliably prefetch the next set of experts ahead of time, the system could still try to guess the likely next experts and load them speculatively, while processing the previous layer. It the guess is correct, it will speed up the next layer inference; if not, it can load the actual next layerâs experts later. In other words, this type of speculative loading does not change the final model predictions, but may reduce latency if the guess is accurate enough.
6More specifically, not possible without changing the model architecture, which would require re-training
4
While analyzing modern MoE models, we found that it is possible to get an accurate guess of next layerâs experts by applying next layerâs gating function to previous layerâs hidden states â or, more specifically, to the same hidden states that are used by previous MoE layerâs gating function. This heuristic relies on the fact that transformer layers are residual, i.e. each layer adds to the previous hidden states instead of re-computing them from scratch. This architecture introduces an inductive bias such that any layerâs hidden states into a decent estimate of next layerâs hidden states.
# 3.3 System Design & Implementation Details
In this section, we describe practical design considerations and implementation details that we used for inferencing MoE language models on consumer and low-end cloud hardware. Our system design combines the caching & prefetching techniques and a mixed MoE quantization scheme .
MoE quantization. As we described earlier in Section 2.2, there are multiple weight quantization algorithms optimized for LLMs. Model compression has a natural synergy with offloading because compressed models take less time to load onto GPU. In our experitments, we also observed that MoE models get better quality-size trade-offs when quantizing experts to a lower bitwidth, while keeping all non-expert layers at 4-bit.
We use Half Quadratic Quantization (HQQ) (Badri & Shaji, 2023) â a data-free quantization algorithm that supports a variety of bit rates. However, we chose this algorithm only for convenience, because it was already well tested for Mixtral models. Since our analysis does not rely on any specific choice of quantization, we believe that if we chose another quantization algorithm (e.g. GPTQ or AWQ) our conclusions would be similar. In our early experiments, we also tried the sub-1-bit quantization from QMoE Frantar & Alistarh (2023b) that worked well on the Switch-c-2048 model. However, we found that sub-1-bit compression caused too significant a loss in perplexity for Mixtral-8x7B models.
Expert Offloading. As described earlier, we use LRU cache with an equal number k of cached experts per layer. For Mixtral-8x7B, we use k=2 for 12GB GPUs and k=4 for 16GB ones. We trigger speculative expert loading immediately after the system finished loading all experts for the current layer. The speculative expert loading fetches 1 â 2 most likely experts. The newly loaded experts do not replace the currently cached experts. If a speculatively loaded expert was later used during next layer inference, it will replace the least recently used expert from the next layerâs cache.
Many consumer devices and free-tier cloud instances have limited host RAM that cannot fit the entire model7. In these cases, the experts must be split between host and device memory. To support this, our implementation of expert LRU cache splits experts between host and GPU devices. When loading and expert to the GPU cache, the system also offloads the least recently used on-device expert back to RAM so as to preserve memory parity.
To speed up offloading in practice, we allocate all expert parameters in a contiguous memory buffer that can be moved as a single host-to-device copy. For host-side (RAM) experts, we pin8 this memory buffer for faster communication. Our implementation additionally allocates b=4 on-device buffers used to copy and prefetch experts asynchronously, without modifying existing experts. These buffers are shared between all MoE layers to reduce memory footprint. Overall, the system requires num_layers à num_experts expert memory buffers split between host and device memory and b=4 temporary buffers, the size of each buffer being equal to a single expert.
# 4 Experiments
In this section, we verify our earlier hypotheses about MoE behavior and benchmark the inference latency in different conditions. We focus our evaluations on Mixtral-8x7B and Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct models since they represent the current state of the art among open-access MoE models. We organize this section as follows: Section 4.1 measures the effectiveness of expert caching and pre-loading in isolation, Section 4.2 compares different model compression algorithms and verifies our hypotheses from Section 3.3. Finally, Section 4.3 measures the inference latency in several hardware setups.
7Notably, Google Colab RAM cannot fit Mixtral-8x7B with a reasonable compression rate 8This corresponds to tensor.pin_memory() command in PyTorch.

# 4.1 Expert LRU Cache and Speculative Loading
In this section, we benchmark the effectiveness of the two expert offloading strategies: LRU caching and and speculative loading, as defined in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 respectively. For this evaluation, we measure âexpert recallâ â the fraction of times when an expert needed for inference was already available on GPU.
For this evaluation, we run Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct model on the OpenAssistant dataset (Köpf et al., 2023). We test LRU caching by running the model on recorded conversations and measuring the recall (aka âhit ratioâ from caching perspective) for different cache sizes k. Next, we test speculative loading in isolation by âguessingâ which experts should be loaded (by applying the next layerâs gating function on current layer activations), then measuring how often the actual next experts get loaded this way. A recall of 1.0 corresponds to a situation where both (2) Mixtral active experts were pre-fetched. We test speculative loading in three settings: 1, 2 and 10 layers ahead.
# 4.2 Mixed MoE Quantization
Next, we test how different Quantization schemes affect MoE performance and size. We also use Mixtral-8x7B, but this time, we use non-instruction-tuned variant since it fits better with the available benchmarks. We measure WikiText2 perpliexity Merity et al. (2016), C4 perplexity Raffel et al. (2020), as well as 5-shot MMLU accuracy Hendrycks et al. (2021). Our objective for this section is to find the best trade off between size and performance for offloading with the target setups. Note that out of 46.7B total parameters in the Mixtral-8x7B model, the experts constitute 45.1B (96.6%). The rest of the model parameters are allocated to embeddings, self-attention layers, MoE gates and minor layers such as LayerNorm.

Table 2: Inference speed for Mixtral-8x7B in low-tier , measured in tokens per second.
As discussed earlier, we use HQQ Badri & Shaji (2023) data-free quantization algorithm and consider the following quantization schemes:
1. FP16 (no quantization) 2. HQQ 4-bit with group size 64, scale group size 256 3. HQQ 3-bit with group size 64, scale group size 128 4. HQQ 2-bit with group size 16, scale group size 128
Note that the actual model size with n-bit quantization is larger than n bits per parameter. This is because the quantized data format also stores quantization scale and zero point for each group of weights. Notably, the above 2-bit quantization scheme uses, on average, 2.6 bits per parameter due to a large number of quantization schemes. We also keep embeddings, logits, MoE gates and normalization layers in 16-bit format.
Table 1 summarizes our results: overall, it seems advantageous to quantize experts to 3 or 2 bits while keeping attention layers to a higher bitwidth (16 or 4 bits). Based on these evaluations, we chose two quantization schemes (highlighted in green) that offer favourable performance-size trade-offs within the target hardware constraints.
# 4.3 Practical offloading performance
Finally we evaluate the performance of the Mixtral8x7B-Instruct model using the offloading tech- niquesproposed throughout this report. Based on the perplexity evaluations from the previous section, we chose 4-bit HQQ quantization for the shared attention layers and 2- or 3-bit quantization for experts. We evaluate this system by generating tokens via sampling on OpenAssistant (Köpf et al., 2023) conversations and measuring the average number of tokens generated per second with batch size 1. For this evaluation, we always sample proportionally to the predicted probabilities, i.e. without temperature or nucleus sampling.
We consider four hardware configurations: a free-tier Colab instance with a T4 GPU (16GB VRAM, PCIe Gen.3), a past generation gaming laptop with RTX 3080 Mobile (16GB, PCIe Gen.4), a mid- range gaming desktop with RTX 3060 (12GB, PCIe Gen.3) and a high-end data-center server with A100-80GB-SXM. Note that the A100 server could run the model without offloading. We use offloading on A100 mostly to provide a reference for other setups. Finally, when evaluating 3-bit models, we use a cloud T4 from Microsoft Azure because the free-tier colab instances did not have enough RAM for this specific configuration. We use k = 2 for RTX 3060 and k = 4 for all other GPUs.
As shown in Table 2, all evaluated setups can generate 2-4 tokens per second with the full algorithm. Using pre-loading appears to be most beneficial on RTX 3060, possibly due to lower LRU cache size. Cursiously, RTX 3060 (desktop) performs nearly equally with a much higher end 3080 Mobile. We attribute this to the fact that both GPUs are still bottlenecked by host-to-device bandwidth, limited by the PCIe architecture. Finally, all schemes significantly outperform naive offloading that loads the entire MoE layer.
# 5 Conclusion and Future Work
In this work, we explore strategies for accelerating Mixture-of-Experts based language models on consumer hardware with limited GPU memory. We propose a MoE-centric approach to offloading
7
and explore how mixed quantization affects perplexity and performance on language understanding tasks. We evaluate the proposed strategies and show that they produce a significant increase in generation speed compared to na¨ve approaches on consumer-grade hardware, including free-tier Google Colab.
Our method provides a practical solution for inferencing large MoE language models on resource- constricted hardware, enabling broader access to these powerful models for research and development. As future work, we plan to explore further offloading strategies, based on speculative expert predic- tion.
