setup_tutorial.md mentions setting up Apex for FP16 support however there doesn't currently seem to be any parameter in the configuration that can enable it and the code doesn't currently seem to utilise apex. I was wondering whether there was active work in progress to enable this feature and if so what the likely timeline for a release might be?

@HaokunLiu - Have you had any luck using Apex FP16?

Currently it’s not supported. It might be a miscommunication that some of
us put that in the readme.

For now, please ignore it.

FWIW, I opened a PR to support FP16 , but it’s not in my recent priorities.
If you are still using jiant two months later, we probably will have FP16.

Thanks for your response and I'm sure I will be using this great tool for some time to come.
