yes, MoE reduces the inference compute requirements (inference memory reqs remain the same)

As someone who has spent quite a lot of time on inference, I would a add a small note:

Deployment looks very different for MoE than dense style models so I would say that it is more nuanced than "inference memory reqs remain the same". Memory can be very different for MoE style models.
