As far as I know fewer active parameters means faster. There’s less arithmetic calculations to be done per pass. But all parameters need to be kept in memory, because they might become active the next pass. So it won’t save any RAM.
They have a short paragraph in the description. It has 80B total parameters, 3B active each pass. It achieves performance like a 30-60B model (10-20x, their claim). But is way more efficiant than that with only 3B active parameters.

Got. Thanks!
