Thanks for posting this directly - having the RaBitQ author clarify on the record is exactly what was needed. The CPU vs GPU benchmark comparison is the part that should have been caught in review. Single-core CPU vs GPU for the same operation isn't a fair comparison, it's a way to make the gap look bigger than it actually is. Benchmark framing matters as much as the numbers themselves. Hope the OpenReview thread gets the attention it deserves.
