The public comments on Openreview now include explicit allegations that the TurboQuant paper knowingly misrepresented RaBitQ and understated RaBitQ’s results. The RaBitQ authors also report in a technical note that several of TurboQuant’s runtime and recall numbers do not reproduce from the released code under the paper’s stated setup. In the note, TurboQuant generally loses to RaBitQ: https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.19528. If these public allegations hold up, then this is not just overhype or sloppy citation practice, but points to a distorted comparison and benchmark claims that do not survive reproduction.
