What papers say

Verbatim critique sentences, each from a paper that cites MoEQuant as a baseline.

While MoEQuant~hu2025moequant attempts to alleviate this issue through expert-balanced self-sampling, such generative calibration approaches may compromise fair comparisons with other baselines.
EAQuant: Enhancing Post-Training Quantization for MoE Models via Expert-Aware Optimization
MoEQuant moequant uses routing statistics to balance the contributions of each expert during calibration, but its performance remains unsatisfactory under quantization of $ 4$ bits.
