Research direction

Start by surveying the Python codebase for the optimizer and embedding implementations related to the three checklist items: sparse row-wise optimizers, reduced precision optimizers, and reduced embedding precision. Determine the intended scope and relevant tests before taking on one item; done should mean the selected support is implemented and covered by tests.
