pprp/Awesome-Efficient-MoE

The project is a static curated list (Awesome List) of research papers. While it provides value to researchers entering the MoE space, it possesses no technical moat or proprietary code. With 175 stars over ~500 days and a current velocity of 0.0/hr, it appears to be a stagnant or slowly growing community resource rather than an active development project. Its defensibility is near-zero as any researcher can fork the repo or start a competing list; the 'stars' represent mild social proof but not a barrier to entry. Frontier labs are the primary producers of the content listed here (e.g., Mixtral, DeepSeek-V2, Switch Transformer), making them the 'content providers' rather than competitors. The primary threat to this project's relevance is the emergence of AI-driven research discovery tools (like Consensus or Hugging Face Daily Papers) which automate the curation process, and the risk of the maintainer stopping updates, which renders paper lists obsolete within 6 months given the current pace of AI research.
