Bump keras from 3.11.3 to 3.12.0

[dependabot]

Bumps keras from 3.11.3 to 3.12.0.

Release notes

Sourced from keras's releases.

Keras 3.12.0

Highlights

Keras has a new model distillation API!

You now have access to an easy-to-use API for distilling large models into small models while minimizing performance drop on a reference dataset -- compatible with all existing Keras models. You can specify a range of different distillation losses, or create your own losses. The API supports multiple concurrent distillation losses at the same time.

Example:

# Load a model to distill
teacher = ...
# This is the model we want to distill it into
student = ...
Configure the process
distiller = Distiller(
teacher=teacher,
student=student,
distillation_losses=LogitsDistillation(temperature=3.0),
)
distiller.compile(
optimizer='adam',
loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy',
metrics=['accuracy']
)
Train the distilled model
distiller.fit(x_train, y_train, epochs=10)

Keras supports GPTQ quantization!

GPTQ is now built into the Keras API. GPTQ is a post-training, weights-only quantization method that compresses a model to int4 layer by layer. For each layer, it uses a second-order method to update weights while minimizing the error on a calibration dataset.

Learn how to use it in this guide.

Example:

model = keras_hub.models.Gemma3CausalLM.from_preset("gemma3_1b")
gptq_config = keras.quantizers.GPTQConfig(
    dataset=calibration_dataset,
    tokenizer=model.preprocessor.tokenizer,
    weight_bits=4,
    group_size=128,
    num_samples=256,
    sequence_length=256,
    hessian_damping=0.01,
    symmetric=False,
</tr></table>
