The math. It’s pretty brutal. You have to multiply insanely large matrices in memory. A dense model has to have and multiply across every parameter basically. MoE models work around it, sure, but you still have to hold a lot in memory and density of activated parameters matters. There is not much of a way around it yet. We are potentially getting there, but its not obvious yet.
