Description

Hello,
I have used your QAT model to quantize to different bitwidths, but I saw that the quantizations were always to FP values, even if they were quantized (e.g., if I quantized to 4bit, then all my weight were quantized to 16 discrete values, but they were not integers but rather FP values, namely non-integers.

I was wondering if there is a way to perform the QAT with a quantization-technique that quantizes to integers, so at to it would be more hardware-efficient.
Thank you.
