• In a fan-out read, the cost is the slowest leg, not the sum
  - Whether decode rate is the number that matters at all: kgeist (49620801) argues quoting 1 tok/s is misleading when prefill of a 512-token prompt takes 6.3 minutes — prefill re-read each layer's experts ~6.2x, ~9 TB of device reads for a 1.4 TB model, acknowledged by the author …
