The converter stores ModelOpt FP8 weights losslessly in MLX's packed MXFP8
carrier with unit E8M0 block scales, then applies the original per-tensor
ModelOpt scale to the output. ModelOpt NVFP4 weights and E4M3 block scales
are likewise retained bit-for-bit; their FP32 tensor scale is applied after
the matrix multiplication.
Activations remain in the model dtype. This avoids adding a second lossy
activation requantization scheme while still using MLX's native quantized
weight kernels.
