 |-----------|----------|-----------|--------------|----------|
 | FP32 | `PrecisionFloat32` | 32-bit float | Highest | Maximum accuracy |
 | FP16 | `PrecisionFloat16` | 16-bit float | ~50% less | Good accuracy, lower memory |
-| INT16 | `PrecisionInt16` | 16-bit int | Optimized | Quantized accuracy |
