December 2024: Delivered Quantization Folding Pass Enhancements and Testing for pytorch/executorch. Implemented input/output quantization parameter retrieval helpers, expanded tests to validate folding and annotation during quantization, and relaxed quantization parameter requirements for TOSA tests to improve robustness and deployment reliability of quantized models. Also introduced helper functions for the Q/DQ folding pass and updated tests to reflect a sequence of ops, increasing test coverage, reliability, and regression safety across backends. This work enhances model quantization fidelity across backends, accelerates QA, and supports broader hardware compatibility.
