Hardware to run PowerMoE-3b
Weights need about 7 GB at FP16, 4 GB at INT8 and 2 GB at INT4. The KV cache adds roughly 66 MB per 1,000 tokens per request. For a reference workload of 5 requests per second with 1,500 input and 300 output tokens, total GPU memory is around 3.1 GB, which fits on 1 × NVIDIA A100 (80 GB).
