    Bouyed by the surprisingly good performance of neural networks with quantization aware training on the CH32V003, I wondered how far this can be pushed. How much can we compress a neural network while still achieving
    good test accuracy on the MNIST dataset? When it comes to absolutely
    low-end microcontrollers, there is hardly a more compelling target than the Padauk 8-bit microcontrollers. These are microcontrollers optimized for the simplest and lowest cost applications there are. The smallest device of the portfolio, the PMS150C, sports 1024 13-bit word one-time-programmable
    memory and 64 bytes of ram, more than an order of magnitude smaller than
    the CH32V003. In addition, it has a proprieteray accumulator based 8-bit architecture, as opposed to a much more powerful RISC-V instruction set.

    Is it possible to implement an MNIST inference engine, which can classify handwritten numbers, also on a PMS150C?
