rhymes-ai/Aria-sequential_mlp

This is a fork of the rhymes-ai/Aria model. The only modification is replacing grouped GEMM with a sequential MLP. In this configuration, each expert is implemented as a torch.nn.Linear layer executed in sequence. This adjustment simplifies quantization with current open-source libraries, which are optimized for nn.Linear layers.

While the sequential MLP approach aids in easier quantization, using grouped GEMM provides the advantage of faster inference speed.
