Architecture overview
Attention
grouped-query attention (GQA) — 96 q-heads / 8 kv-heads. RoPE θ=1,000,000.
Feed-forward / MoE
It is a sparse mixture-of-experts with 160 routed experts and top-8 routing; about 32.7B parameters are active per token.
The configuration ships 1 extra multi-token-prediction (MTP) layers used to accelerate decoding.
Field-level comparison
Compared against the previous model of the same lab; where none exists, against the structurally closest model. The ratio column is this model divided by the comparison model.
