"""PTQ baseline (D-56): what llama.cpp's own post-training quantisation of the teacher reaches at the bit widths of
our QAT students, measured the same way as the students themselves (llama.cpp KL divergence against the bf16 teacher).
Only the routed experts are quantised, as in our students; everything else stays bf16. Each width gets plain
round-to-nearest in the students' own GGUF type (= the QAT starting point) and llama.cpp's best importance-matrix
types near the same bits per weight.
