Instella‑MoE is a fully open Mixture‑of‑Experts language model with 16 billion total parameters and 2.8 billion active parameters per token, trained from scratch on AMD Instinct GPUs. It incorporates a sparsely activated MoE design with Gated Multi‑head Latent Attention and FarSkip‑Collective connectivity, and follows a multi‑stage pipeline that includes pre‑training, long‑context extension, supervised fine‑tuning, direct preference optimization, and reinforcement learning with Multi‑Teacher On‑Policy Distillation. The model achieves an average score of 76.7 on pre‑training benchmarks and 73.2 on instruction‑following, reasoning, math, coding, and chat benchmarks, outperforming comparable fully open and open‑weight models, and its full training pipeline, weights, and code are released for reproducibility.
The paper introduces Edge0, a streaming mixture‑of‑experts (MoE) inference engine that enables a 35‑billion‑parameter MoE model to run on consumer hardware by predicting routing decisions one token ahead. Edge0 uses a per‑layer prerouter to prefetch the necessary experts from SSD, and an unmerged recovery LoRA trained on the student path to recover quality lost to 4‑bit quantization and routing replacement. On a single 24‑GB machine, Edge0 serves the 35B MoE at 20 tokens per second while keeping peak active memory below 3 GiB, achieving performance close to its fp16 teacher across five public benchmarks.
