Architecture overview
Attention
grouped-query attention (GQA) — 64 q-heads / 8 kv-heads. RoPE θ=1,000,000.
Feed-forward / MoE
It is a dense model: all 71.4B parameters participate in computing every token.
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.
