Great idea! I think this should be fairly straightforward, and I can gate it behind a feature. I'll look at doing f128 in a similar way, if it is feasible.
Thanks for the suggestion, and the encouragement! 👍🏼
Hi Marco,
It looks like Kiddo may already support f16
out-of-the-box with no changes required! You need to enable the num-traits
feature of the half
crate in order to get it to work.
See the example here: https://github.com/sdd/kiddo/pull/110/files#diff-c5a8e5aa531111094cd34349e31759268e663e8a937f5004aefc395fb3a30f55
I've not tested this extensively. Give it a try, and if you run into any issues, let me know and I'll see if I can help.
This is a great news! I will test it, thanks!
The support of 'fixed' crate has been very useful and forward-looking. Now, there is another very popular crate: half. This crate implements half-sized floats, i.e. 16-bit floats which follow the IEEE754 standard. It would be very helpful (and unique in the world) if kiddo would support types such as half::F16 and half::BF16. Thank you for your time, and your awesome project! Keep it on!
