Project Maya is currently a day-old personal experiment with zero stars and no community traction. While LLM security is a critical and growing field, the project follows a well-trodden 'Damn Vulnerable Web App' (DVWA) pattern applied to AI. It competes directly with established educational tools like Lakera's 'Gandalf' and various CTF (Capture The Flag) platforms hosted on Hugging Face. The defensibility is low because the value lies entirely in the specific lab configurations, which are easily cloned or surpassed by specialized security firms (e.g., Trail of Bits, Giskard, or Prompt Security) that have deeper research moats. Frontier labs are unlikely to build this as it is an educational tool for hackers, which is outside their core product scope, though they may release similar 'red teaming' guides. The displacement horizon is short because the fast-moving nature of LLM jailbreaking and prompt injection research makes static labs obsolete within months unless there is a high velocity of new lab additions.
