Description

Feature Request: Support Quantization Training for EXL3 (Exllamav3) Format

Describe the feature
Could you consider supporting quantization training for the EXL3 (Exllamav3) quantized model? The Exllamav3 format is highly optimized for consumer-level GPUs while maintaining excellent output quality. Integrating this would enable more efficient training and inference for users with limited hardware resources.

Paste any useful information

Additional context
Exllamav3 has gained significant support within the Hugging Face community, with many EXL3 models already available on the platform. Adding quantization training support for this format would align with the growing demand for efficient and accessible model deployment.
