SpikingBrain 7B – More efficient than classic LLMs

>The current implementation adopts pseudo-spiking, where activations are approximated as spike-like signals at the tensor level, rather than true asynchronous event-driven spiking on neuromorphic hardware.

Isn't that in essence very similar to Quantization Aware Training (QaT)?
