If active weight bandwidth is everything, then wouldn't Qwen 35b a3b (FP8) be roughly half the cost of dsv4f (FP4)?

dsv4f appears bigger and more memory/computationally expensive to run any way I look at it.

Yeah, it should be basically free. No idea why it is not. I guess KV cache taking up RAM and possibly bad business sense or amortized engineering costs, I honestly do not know.
