ModelOpt Quantization-Aware Distillation

QAD is expensive. Run it only when the user explicitly authorizes QAD for the target model or run. A Day-0, PTQ, evaluation, comparison, or recipe-search request alone is not authorization to start QAD.

Follow the supported workflow

Before constructing commands, read:

• examples/megatron_bridge/README.md, especially PTQ, data preparation, QAD, export, and Slurm usage
• examples/megatron_bridge/{quantize.py,distill.py} via --help
• the common skill's environment-setup.md, workspace-management.md, and slurm-setup.md; also its remote-execution.md for remote Slurm

Treat the example README and --help output as authoritative for mutable flags, commands, containers, and checkpoint formats. This skill supports Slurm only.
