Hugging Face releases "The Ultimate MoE Training Handbook" for free, a guide to training mixture-of-experts models based on what the company says were 800,000 GPU hours of experiments.

Thomas Wolf says the handbook covers questions such as expert count and size, all-to-all communication overhead, router choice, and whether to upcycle a dense checkpoint, and contains about 70,000 words, 55 interactive figures, and runnable code.

Earlier posts by Leandro von Werra and Wolf described the same work as a roughly 30,000-word guide with more than 50 interactive figures, based on 500,000 GPU hours. Those reports, which quote Hugging Face and Nouamane Tazi, do not explain the difference in GPU hours or word count.
