Total capacity scales with the number of experts E available to the router, roughly $P_{\mathrm{total}}$ $\approx$ $P_{\mathrm{shared}}$ + E $\cdot$ $P_{\mathrm{expert}}$ , while inference compute scales with $P_{\mathrm{active}}$ , not $P_{\mathrm{total}}$ . This is the exact mechanism behind Meta’s headline figures: Maverick’s 400 billion total parameters…
