Description
Hi there! I’m using the Sonata encoder to extract per-point features from a 4096‐point cloud, which gives me a [4096, 1088] feature tensor which is a lot.
I want to use those features to train another model and I only need a small subset of points (e.g. 1–50) or a much lower‐dimensional feature (e.g. <256) per point. Is there a built‐in way to either downsample to a fixed smaller number of points while preserving their features or to reduce the per‐point feature dimension in Sonata?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by locating the Sonata encoder entry point that produces the [4096, 1088] per-point feature tensor. Determine whether the requested fixed-point downsampling and lower per-point dimension are supported, and clarify the expected behavior for both options; done should provide a documented, usable path for producing the requested smaller outputs.
