Latest hf-mem release added a breakdown of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) memory usage!

TL; DR MoEs can be misleading to reason about from active parameters alone, since each token only activates a subset of experts, while the serving setup still needs to account for the full resident memory footprint.

🧠 hf-mem now splits MoE memory into base model weights, routed experts, and KV cache
πŸ—οΈ Dense models usually load and use most weights every forward pass, while MoEs load many experts but only route each token to a few of them
⚑ Active params isn't the same as memory footprint, especially for sparse architectures
πŸ“¦ Runtime memory is about what is used per request/token, while loading memory also includes the expert weights that need to be resident
πŸ“š KV cache can still dominate depending on context length, batch size, and concurrency
πŸ”€ Expert Parallelism (EP) helps shard experts across accelerators when expert weights dominate
πŸš€ Data Parallelism (DP) + EP is often a good fit for throughput-oriented MoE serving

πŸ’₯ hf-mem v0.4.1 now also estimates KV cache memory requirements for any context length and batch size with the --experimental flag!

uvx hf-mem --model-id ... --experimental will automatically pull the required information from the Hugging Face Hub to include the KV cache estimation, when applicable.

πŸ’‘ Alternatively, you can also set the --max-model-len, --batch-size and --kv-cache-dtype arguments (Γ  la vLLM) manually if preferred.

deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR is out! πŸ”₯ my take ‡️
> pretty insane it can parse and re-render charts in HTML
> it uses CLIP and SAM features concatenated, so better grounding
> very efficient per vision tokens/performance ratio
> covers 100 languages

We're kick-starting the process of Transformers v5, with @ArthurZ and @cyrilvallez !

v5 should be significant: we're using it as a milestone for performance optimizations, saner defaults, and a much cleaner code base worthy of 2025.

Fun fact: v4.0.0-rc-1 came out on Nov 19, 2020, nearly five years ago!
