Total vs Active Model parameters:
In a dense transformer (GPT-3, Llama 3, etc.), every parameter participates in every forward pass, so active = total. In an MoE model, the FFN block at each layer is replaced by N separate "expert" FFNs plus a small router network. For each token, the router picks the top-k experts (commonly k=2 out of 8, or 8 out of 256 in DeepSeek-style models) and only those experts' weights are used in the matmuls for that token. The other experts sit idle for that token but still need to be in memory because a different token might route to them.
For long-context inference, KV cache often dominates memory usage over the weights themselves.
