From 96b864992b77417478e1736d54e9254d5ee6dd93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammed Zaid Hussain Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2026 02:06:45 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Add Experts4bit: fused MoE weights in 4-bit NF4/FP4 Implements per-expert block-wise 4-bit quantization for fused MoE layers (gate_up_proj + down_proj).
