Enum LinearFormat 

pub enum LinearFormat {
    Dense,
    Affine(AffineQuantization),
    MxFp4,
    GgufIQuant {
        ggml_type: GgmlType,
        endian: Endian,
    },
    E4M3BlockFp8(BlockFp8Format),
}

Complete physical encoding selected for one linear matrix.

Unlike WeightQuantization, this type includes dense and block-FP8 storage, so a neural-layer specification never needs an architecture-owned format enum or an out-of-band quantization flag.

Variants

Dense

Ordinary floating-point matrix storage.

Affine(AffineQuantization)

Per-group affine integer storage.

MxFp4

Microscaling FP4 with E2M1 values and E8M0 scales.

GgufIQuant

Checkpoint-native GGML blocks.

Fields

ggml_type: GgmlType

Native GGML tensor encoding.

endian: Endian

Byte order declared by the GGUF container.

E4M3BlockFp8(BlockFp8Format)

E4M3 values with one inverse scale per two-dimensional block.
