From Simon Willison: "Mistral tweet a link to a 281GB magnet BitTorrent of Mixtral 8x22B—their latest openly licensed model release, significantly larger than their previous best open model Mixtral 8x7B. I’ve not seen anyone get this running yet but it’s likely to perform extremely well, given how good the original Mixtral was."

I thought MoEs had to be loaded entirely in the (V)RAM and the inference speedup was because you only need to use a fraction of layers to compute the next token (but the choice of layers can be different for each token, so you need them all ready; or keep moving data between the disk <-> RAM <-> VRAM and get reduced performance).
