Saving INT8 weights

[willbattel]

I'd like to save the INT8 weights, to get the benefit of the smaller file size. I'm deploying YOLO to devices that are limited in disk space where going from 240MB to 60MB would be extremely helpful. Tiny YOLOv3 is not quite good enough for small objects, as much as we'd like to use it. The smaller file size is even more important to us than the 30% gain in speed, and we're okay with losing a little bit of accuracy.

I know several months ago you said you don't have plans to add the ability to save the INT8 weights. Is this still the case?

May be I will add it later.
