pensativoGH/LeanVLM-MoE

LeanVLM-MoE is a very recent (2 days old) project that attempts to transplant the 'loss-free' load balancing mechanism from DeepSeek-V3 into a compact Vision-Language Model. While technically savvy in its adoption of cutting-edge MoE techniques, the project currently has zero stars, forks, or community traction. It functions primarily as a reference implementation or a personal experiment rather than a production-ready tool. The defensibility is low because the core innovation belongs to the DeepSeek team, and the application of this technique to VLMs is a logical next step that frontier labs (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) and well-funded open-source entities (like Mistral or Alibaba Qwen) can and will implement with much greater compute resources. The moat is non-existent as there is no proprietary dataset, unique architectural breakthrough, or network effect. It is highly susceptible to being rendered obsolete by official releases from larger labs within a short timeframe.
