Model Architecture
The architecture of AI models influences their performance and efficiency. This section examines architectural trends in models, such as the rise in popularity of the Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture, and how these relate to model capabilities.
Intelligence Index vs Release Date by Model Architecture
A model where only a subset of parameters ("experts") are active per input. Routing mechanisms select a few experts per forward pass, reducing computation while allowing the model to scale to many more parameters overall.
A model where all parameters are active for every input. Every forward pass involves the full network, making it computationally intensive but straightforward to train and deploy.
Model Size: Total and Active Parameters
The total number of trainable weights and biases in the model, expressed in billions. These parameters are learned during training and determine the model's ability to process and generate responses.
The number of parameters actually executed during each inference forward pass, expressed in billions. For Mixture of Experts (MoE) models, a routing mechanism selects a subset of experts per token, resulting in fewer active than total parameters. Dense models use all parameters, so active equals total.

Context Length (Tokens), Median By Quarter
Larger context windows are relevant to RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) LLM workflows which typically involve reasoning and information retrieval of large amounts of data.
Maximum number of combined input & output tokens. Output tokens commonly have a significantly lower limit (varied by model).
