JetMoE: Reaching LLaMA2 Performance with 0.1M Dollars
Key Messages
JetMoE-8B is trained with less than $ 0.1 million1 cost but outperforms LLaMA2-7B from Meta AI, who has multi-billion-dollar training resources. LLM training can be much cheaper than people previously thought.
JetMoE-8B is fully open-sourced and academia-friendly because:
- It only uses public datasets for training, and the code is open-sourced. No proprietary resource is needed.
- It can be finetuned with very limited compute budget (e.g., consumer-grade GPU) that most labs can afford.
JetMoE-8B only has 2.2B active parameters during inference, which drastically lowers the computational cost. Compared to a model with similar inference computation, like Gemma-2B, JetMoE-8B achieves constantly better performance.
1 We used a 96×H100 GPU cluster for 2 weeks, which cost ~$0.08 million.

Benchmarks
We use the same evaluation methodology as in the Open LLM leaderboard. For MBPP code benchmark, we use the same evaluation methodology as in the LLaMA2 and Deepseek-MoE paper. The results are shown below:

To our surprise, despite the lower training cost and computation, JetMoE-8B performs even better than LLaMA2-7B, LLaMA-13B, and DeepseekMoE-16B. Compared to a model with similar training and inference computation, like Gemma-2B, JetMoE-8B achieves better performance.
Model Usage
To load the models, you need install this package:
pip install -e .
Then you can load the model with the following code:
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoConfig, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
from jetmoe import JetMoEForCausalLM, JetMoEConfig, JetMoEForSequenceClassification
AutoConfig.register("jetmoe", JetMoEConfig)
AutoModelForCausalLM.register(JetMoEConfig, JetMoEForCausalLM)
AutoModelForSequenceClassification.register(JetMoEConfig, JetMoEForSequenceClassification)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('jetmoe/jetmoe-8b')
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained('jetmoe/jetmoe-8b')
The MoE code is based on the ScatterMoE. The code is still under active development, we are happy to receive any feedback or suggestions.
Model Details
JetMoE-8B has 24 blocks. Each block has two MoE layers: Mixture of Attention heads (MoA) and Mixture of MLP Experts (MoE). Each MoA and MoE layer has 8 expert, and 2 experts are activated for each input token. It has 8 billion parameters in total and 2.2B active parameters. JetMoE-8B is trained on 1.25T tokens from publicly available datasets, with a learning rate of 5.0 x 10-4 and a global batch-size of 4M tokens.
Training Details
Our training recipe follows the MiniCPM's two-phases training method. Phase 1 uses a constant learning rate with linear warmup and is trained on 1 trillion tokens from large-scale open-source pretraining datasets, including RefinedWeb, Pile, Github data, etc. Phase 2 uses exponential learning rate decay and is trained on 250 billion tokens from phase 1 datasets and extra high-quality open-source datasets.
