Architecture, drawn from the data
GQA 96q/8kv. Each column is one layer: its token mixer above, its feed-forward block below. Paler columns reuse another layer’s keys and values.
Modelled costs
From the cost model, batch size 1. Totals the lab states are in the table above; differences come from rounding, from what a lab counts, or from parts the model does not describe (listed on the about page).
| Parameters (modelled) | 353B |
|---|---|
| Active per token (modelled) | 33.6B |
| Without embeddings and output head | 351B total, 32.1B active |
| Multi-token-prediction layers (extra) | 3.99B |
| Published weights (Hugging Face count) | 358B |
| KV cache per token, BF16 (layers that grow with context) | 368 KiB |
| KV cache + state at 198K tokens, BF16 | 71.2 GiB |
| Decode FLOPs per token at 4K context | 84.2 GFLOP |
| Prefill FLOPs for a 4K prompt | 301 TFLOP |
