What

Our PTQ framework is designed to be independent of transformers and does not require it as a core dependency. However, some features are implemented to integrate with transformers when it is available (e.g., module wrappers, model export paths, or compatibility layers).

Currently, our test environment does not install transformers, which means these optional integration paths are not being exercised during CI. As a result, we risk regressions in functionality that depends on transformers without noticing.

Proposed Solution

Install transformers as part of the test environment (CI) so that irelated tests can run.
