🧙♂️ Ensemble Intelligence FAQ
Everything you need to know about mixture-of-experts architecture, collective intelligence, and ensemble AI deployment.
🎭 Architecture & Intelligence
How does ensemble intelligence work?
WizardLM-2-8x22B contains eight specialized 22B-parameter experts, each trained on specific domains. An intelligent router analyzes your query and activates the most relevant 1-2 experts, creating specialized responses that surpass generalist models. It's like having eight PhD specialists working together instead of one generalist.
Why is MoE better than dense models?
Mixture-of-experts provides specialization without sacrificing breadth. While dense models dilute expertise across all parameters, MoE maintains dedicated experts for each domain. You get the collective knowledge of 176B parameters but only activate 22B per query, achieving both efficiency and superior quality.
How accurate is expert routing?
WizardLM-2-8x22B achieves 97.3% routing accuracy, meaning it correctly identifies the best expert(s) for your query 97 times out of 100. The router uses advanced neural networks trained on millions of query-expert pairs to make these decisions in milliseconds.
⚙️ Deployment & Performance
What hardware do I need for all 8 experts?
Minimum: 48GB RAM, RTX 4090 24GB. Recommended: 64GB RAM, A100 40GB. The beauty of MoE is that you only load active experts into GPU memory, so you can run the full ensemble on surprisingly modest hardware compared to equivalent dense models.
Can I run partial expert sets?
Yes! You can deploy subsets of experts based on your needs. For coding tasks, load Code Architect + Reasoning Specialist. For writing, use Language Virtuoso + Knowledge Synthesizer. The router adapts to available experts automatically.
How does ensemble speed compare?
WizardLM-2-8x22B runs at 23 tokens/second on RTX 4090, often faster than dense models because only active experts compute. The router adds minimal overhead (~2ms) while expert specialization often produces better results with fewer generation steps.
