"The TurboQuant paper (ICLR 2026) contains serious issues in how it describes RaBitQ, including incorrect technical claims and misleading theory/experiment comparisons.
We flagged these issues to the authors before submission. They acknowledged them, but chose not to fix them. The paper was later accepted and widely promoted by Google, reaching tens of millions of views.
We’re speaking up now because once a misleading narrative spreads, it becomes much harder to correct. We’ve written a public comment on openreview (https://openreview.net/forum?id=tO3AS KZlok ).
We would greatly appreciate your attention and help in sharing it."
Openreview link is not working, was split apparently.
I guess I'm trying to understand. I'm hearing this paper has been around for a year -- I would think that many companies would have already implemented and measured its performance in production by now... is that not the case?
