Description
BSDG (Billion Scale Data Generator)
Add a dtype option that allows users to choose an output type.
We have two options
- Run the fit and generate stage in
fp32and cast todtypeas we return/save the dataset cluster-by-cluster - Run the whole pipeline in the requested
dtype
Need to explore these options and add this feature.

Research direction
Start by locating the BSDG implementation and reading its fit, generate, and dataset return/save stages. Compare the two proposed dtype approaches, then define completion as a working user-selectable output type with behavior validated across the full pipeline.
