Instella-MoE Technical Report
In this work, we introduce Instella-MoE, a fully open Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model with 16 billion total parameters and 2.8 billion active parameters per token, trained entirely from scratch on AMD Instinct MI300X and MI325X GPUs. Instella-MoE combines a sparsely activated MoE design with architectural and system-level innovations, including Gated Multi-head Latent Attention (Gated MLA) and FarSkip-Collective connectivity, enabling efficient large-scale training and inference. The model is developed through a multi-stage pipeline comprising pre-training, mid-training, long-context extension, supervised fine-tuning with feedback-driven data curation, direct preference optimizati...
