Thoughts on a 230m active parameter MoE variant?

This performs so well I get 100tps on my laptop CPU at q8 and it's surprisingly coherent and accurate for 230m parameters!
So this got me wondering if we can keep this performance level with a larger MoE model with ~230m active parameters but more knowledge and I was wondering what you recommend.

Do you think it would be advantageous to upscale the 230m model to say 4b MoE model, then finetune it? Or would it make more sense to finetune multiple 230m variants and combine those into an MoE model? Or would continued pre-training make more sense?

Thank you for your great contributions!
