Since it's a MoE model with 37B active params, I imagined you don't even need all of that ram to keep the whole model in memory, just the active bits.

The active bits may change with each token. You need the whole model in memory, even though, for any single token, only a subset of that memory will have been used in computation. The memory efficiency comes when you have multiple sessions in parallel.
