  // Similar to inference_type, but allows to control specifically the

  //
  // If not set, then the value of inference_type is implicitly used, i.e.
  // by default input arrays are quantized like other arrays.
  //
  // Like inference_type, this only affects real-number arrays. By "real-number"
  // we mean float arrays, and quantized arrays. This excludes plain
  // integer arrays, strings arrays, and every other data type.
  //
  // The typical use for this flag is for vision models taking a bitmap
  // as input, typically with uint8 channels, yet still requiring floating-point
  // inference. For such image models, the uint8 input is quantized, i.e.
  // the uint8 values are interpreted as real numbers, and the quantization
  // parameters used for such input arrays are their mean_value, std_value
  // parameters.
  optional IODataType inference_input_type = 11;

  // Sets the type of real-number arrays in the output file, that is, controls
  // the representation (quantization) of real numbers in the output file,
  // except for input arrays, which are controlled by inference_input_type.
  //
  // NOTE: this flag only impacts real-number arrays. By "real-number"
  // we mean float arrays, and quantized arrays. This excludes plain
  // integer arrays, strings arrays, and every other data type.
  //
  // For real-number arrays, the impact of this flag is to allow the output
  // file to choose a different real-numbers representation (quantization)
  // from what the input file used. For any other types of arrays, changing
  // the data type would not make sense.
  //
  // Specifically:
  //    - If FLOAT, then real-numbers arrays will be of type float in
  //      the output file. If they were quantized in the input file, then
  //      they get dequantized.
  //    - If QUANTIZED_UINT8, then real-numbers arrays will be quantized
  //      as uint8 in the output file. If they were float in the input file,
  //      then they get quantized.
  //    - If not set, then all real-numbers arrays retain the same type in the
  //      output file as they have in the input file.

  // default_ranges_min and default_ranges_max are helpers to experiment

  // satisfactory accuracy. However, in some circumstances one would just like
  // to estimate the performance of quantized inference, without caring about
  // accuracy. That is what default_ranges_min and default_ranges_max are for:
  // when specified, they will be used as default (min, max) range boundaries
  // for all activation arrays that lack (min, max) range information, thus
  // allowing for quantization to proceed.
  //
  // It should be clear from the above explanation that these parameters are
  // for experimentation purposes only and should not be used in production:
