Have you modified Tensorflow library to use numpy-posit instead of numpy ,Or can specify the modifications done to Tensorflow to support posit.
training using posit 16 can be done using code in Tensorflow directory , what is the need of doing it using softposit?

Have you modified Tensorflow library to use numpy-posit instead of numpy ,Or can specify the modifications done to Tensorflow to support posit.

The library uses a modified Tensorflow version that integrates numpy-posit functionalities. I am currently working to modify this, eliminating the custom Tensorflow dependency, and making the library more flexible from just the NumPy layer.

what is the need of doing it using softposit?

It is only needed to perform low-precision inference (8-bits) with fused operations. There is no need to install Softposit for training or if you do not plan to use fused operations.
