> Going from paper to implementation from scratch in half an hour or so is great.

This repo isn’t showing that at all. Scroll to the bottom of the README and you’ll see the other project it was based on. It’s a translation of other people’s work.

There have been dozens or perhaps hundreds of vibecoded TurboQuant examples posted around the usual forums in the past few days. This one doesn’t even include anything helpful like benchmarks or tests. It’s just some proof of concept code that doesn’t even work if you try to run it.

My problem with this specific type of vibe coded project is that it’s initially presented as something more novel or polished in order to get more upvotes, karma, likes, or pad a resume. Then you read it and discover they just pointed Claude at some other projects and told it to produce something similar, then posted it as their own work.
