Is it possible to move reference to json file ? We have examples in tests.

That is a good idea. I will move it.

I have combined all the refs for SE in 1 function (earlier MoE refs had another getter). Then moved it to a reference JSON file.

Changes
GroupedMatMul applies one weight matrix per group to a single shared 2D activation. Data-aware compression assumed a 3D weight always comes with a matching 3D activation, so AWQ, scale estimation and GPTQ failed.
AWQ
For weights, The experts axis is folded into the output channels, the search then minimizes the error over all experts at once, and the scale is broadcast back over the experts axis.
For activation, the same scale is applied over the hidden dim of the activation in non mergible case, For mergible scale, it is reshaped but still only applied over the hidden dim of the previous matmul weights.
Scale estimation
Broadcasts the pooled statistics over the group axis, so the scale stays per group.
Reason for changes
to support grouped_mm based MoE models in OpenVINO backend.

Tests
test_scale_estimation and test_awq_scale_reference extended for this case.
test_node_utils extended for the weight channel axes and activation channel axis for GroupedMatMul.
