not very familiar with moe models. does it require 685GB or 37GB vram?

need a100 x 10

@CHNtentes it needs about 1tb vram

What if you have a single GPU with 48GB VRAM and 1tb ordinary system RAM? Someone told me that it's possible to separate the layers so that only the active expert (37GB if using a Q8) is in VRAM at any given time, and the rest is in system RAM...

I have no doubt this is possible to do - but would the performance be even close to usable??

you could try with vLLM as it has CPU offloading with
--cpu-offload-gb 900
