Code Review
This pull request updates the documentation for online FP8 quantization by removing a warning about memory requirements. The warning stated that the entire model needs to be loaded in its original precision, which is no longer true due to the implementation of loading weights onto a meta device and quantizing them on the fly. This change accurately reflects the current state of the feature.
