Equation 17 · Part 3 · Dense, Sparse, and Distilled: Comparing Approaches to Frontier Model Capacity
=
=
What this part means
The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.
Its job in the formula
The equals sign connects the complete expression on the left with the complete expression on the right. Both sides must have compatible units.

The passage around this formula
What sparse routing breaks: = N . Best when training compute is the binding constraint and memory is not.
Learn the underlying idea
An equals sign says that the expression on its left and the expression on its right have the same value under the stated definitions and assumptions.
