You'd need to add a 'dumper' for the qfloat16 type in
share/qtcreator/debugger/qttypes.py reading the binary contents
and creating some sensible display, and perhaps the original
'raw' contents as children for people that need that.
numpy.frombuffer(..., 'float16') might do the trick.

Perhaps something like https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/190200/

Hope this helps,
