What is the computational overhead of implementing expert bridging versus full fine-tuning in terms of inferen

Fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) is a common practice to adapt pre-trained models for specific applications. While methods like LoRA have effectively addressed GPU memory constraints during fine-tuning, their performance often falls short, especially in multi-task scenarios. In contrast, Mixture-of-Expert (MoE) models, such as Mixtral 8x7B, demonstrate remarkable performance in multi-task learning scenarios while maintaining a reduced parameter count. However, the resource requirements of these MoEs remain challenging, particularly for consumer-grade GPUs with less than 24GB memory. To

Research goal: What is the computational overhead of implementing expert bridging versus full fine-tuning in terms of inference latency and memory usage across different model scales from 110M to 175B parameters?
