Quantized weights were loaded in the `Weights` class, but this was getting quite unwieldy, where every higher level method to load weights was a long conditional to cover all the different quantizers. This change moves loading of quantized weights out of the `Weights` class. This is done by defining a simple `WeightsLoader` interface that is implemented by `Exl2WeightsLoader`, `GPTQWeightsLoader`, and `MarlinWeightsLoader`. These implementations are in the quantizers' respective modules. The `Weights` class provides the low-level load operations (such as loading tensors or sharded tensors), but delegates loads that need quantizer-specific weight processing to a loader. The loaders still use the low-level functionality provided by `Weights`. I initially tried making a hierarchy where a class like `GPTQWeights` would inherit from `Weights`. But it is not very flexible (e.g. does not work well with the new weight storage mock used in tests) and the implicit indirections made the code harder to follow. |
