Javier CanalesandClaude Opus 5.5 4f7e267d15 feat(inference-engineering): add learning resources to roadmap topics
Add curated papers, official docs, open-source repos and books to 64
topics of the Inference Engineering roadmap, following the content
style guide (typed links, ordered by type, max 8 per topic).

Also normalise the heading on the Post-Training Quantization and
Multi-Cloud topics.

Quantization

Quantization converts model weights and other values from their native precision to a lower-precision format. Cutting precision in half doubles memory bandwidth for decode and enables twice the FLOPS for prefill on compatible Tensor Cores. The tradeoff is potential quality loss from reduced numerical precision, which can compound across the many calculations in a forward pass.
