Ways to think about token pricingA 512-expert MoE model with 2.4T total parameters but sparse activation directly illustrates the token pricing complexity discussed—active parameter count vs total parameter count changes cost calculus significantly
11–16× Faster LLM Inference with llama.cppThe 11-16x faster llama.cpp inference work is directly applicable to running large MoE models like Qwen 3 8B 2.4T locally, as MoE architectures benefit especially from sparse activation inference optimizations
