MoE is from Google (Noam Shazeer)

MTP is from Meta

Another DeepSeek advance that the west are copying is DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA)

Mixture-of-Expert (MoE) was introduced in the 1990s [1, 2], see also [3, 4]. The idea was that MoE scales up model capacity and only introduces small computation overhead. MoEs did not become viable for high-performance applications until sparse routing was integrated with modern deep networks, made possible by large-scale distributed computation. The breakthrough came with the development of sparsely gated networks [5], which showed that it is possible to maintain model accuracy while activating only a small fraction of a large parameter network during both training and inference.
