 To use GPTQ-LoRA technique, you can set the `quantized_lora_config` defined [here](https://github.com/foundation-model-stack/fms-hf-tuning/blob/main/tuning/config/acceleration_configs/quantized_lora_config.py). See the Notes section of FMS Acceleration doc [below](https://github.com/foundation-model-stack/fms-hf-tuning/blob/main/README.md#fms-acceleration) for usage. The only kernel we are supporting currently is `triton_v2`.
