Description

https://www.deepspeed.ai/tutorials/model-compression/#2-tutorial-for-zeroquant-efficient-and-affordable-post-training-quantization

According to the guide, the command below applies zeroquant
bash bash_script/ZeroQuant/zero_quant.sh

Where does zeroquant actually apply?
I think I use this deepspeed config, but I don't know what the zeroquant-related settings are.

Research direction

Start with the linked ZeroQuant tutorial and inspect bash_script/ZeroQuant/zero_quant.sh alongside the referenced ds_config_W8A8_Qgroup48_fp32.json configuration. Trace the example entry point to identify where ZeroQuant is applied and document what the zeroquant-related settings control. Done means the tutorial clearly explains the application point and relevant configuration options.
