.. py:class:: Quantizer(quant_config: Optional[Any] = None)




   The base quantizer for all algorithm quantizers.

   The `Quantizer` unifies the interfaces across various quantization algorithms, including GPTQ, RTN, etc.
   Given a float model, `Quantizer` apply the quantization algorithm to the model according to the `quant_config`.

   To implement a new quantization algorithm,, inherit from `Quantizer` and implement the following methods:
       - `prepare`: prepare a given model for convert.
       - `convert`: convert a prepared model to a quantized model.
   Note: `quantize` and `execute` are optional for new quantization algorithms.
