Dense Model

A Dense Model is a neural network architecture where 100% of the model's parameters are activated and calculated for every single token processed, representing the traditional design of deep neural networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a dense model differ from a sparse model?

Dense models activate all parameters for every token. Sparse models (like MoE) route tokens to specific subsets of parameters, reducing computation per token.

What is the main drawback of scaling dense models?

Higher parameter counts lead to quadratic compute cost increases during both training and inference.
