"""Minimal Quantization-Aware Distillation (QAD) for lalamo HybridMatrix models.
Pipeline:
1. Load a BF16 teacher and an RHT+INT4 PTQ student (lalamo format).
2. Switch student HybridMatrix nodes to CompressionImplementation.TRAINING.
3. Teacher-forced forward on a corpus; KL(teacher || student) loss.
4. Optimize:
- master_weights: Muon (optax.contrib.muon)
- scales / zero points: AdamW
with deterministic STE from lalamo's rounding.
5. Switch back to INFERENCE, save, rewrite metadata for uzu.
This is a first-stage QAD: the loss uses teacher-forced corpus text. For the
full Mirai recipe, replace the corpus with teacher-generated rollouts.
Usage:
