feat: add Qwen3.5 MoE calibration module for quantization

ScarletBlue · ScarletBlue · commit 83c7bd835563 · 2026-02-18T20:11:22.000+09:00
Qwen3.5 MoE (Qwen3_5MoeSparseMoeBlock) stores expert weights as fused
3D tensors. Add CalibrationQwen3_5MoeSparseMoeBlock which unfuses these
into individual Qwen3_5MoeMLP modules with nn.Linear layers, enabling
proper NVFP4 quantization. Uses is_permanent=True so the unfused
structure persists through quantization and saving.
