The trillion describes the model’s total size. The forty-nine billion describes the parameters that, according to Mistral, are activated per query. AI Weekly explains that this brings the computational cost of each response close to that of a dense forty-nine-billion-parameter model. It does not mean that storing the entire model co

The trillion describes the model’s total size. The forty-nine billion describes the parameters that, according to Mistral, are activated per query. AI Weekly explains that this brings the computational cost of each response close to that of a dense forty-nine-billion-parameter model. It does not mean that storing the entire model or having the infrastructure to run it costs the same. The parameters that are not used in a query remain part of the system.
