jgrusewski 0af691cae5 feat(bf16): f32 grad_buf + backward GemmEx f32 accumulation
- grad_buf: CudaSlice<half::bf16> → CudaSlice<f32> (eliminates bf16
  truncation in backward weight gradients)
- cql_grad_scratch: same change (CQL gradient isolation buffer)
- iqn_trunk_m, iqn_trunk_grad_norm: same change
- Backward dW GemmEx: new gemmex_bf16_acc_f32 (C matrix CUDA_R_32F)
- Backward dX GemmEx: unchanged (stays bf16, upstream gradient)
- bias_grad_reduce_kernel: float db output + native atomicAdd
- dqn_utility kernels: grad_norm, adam, clip, clipped_saxpy all read
  float* grads directly (no bf16→float conversion overhead)
- Adam: gradient clipping computed entirely in float
- GOFF byte offsets: sizeof::<f32> for grad_buf positions
- IQN d_h_s2 DtoD: keep bf16 byte size (IQN head output is bf16)
- Test gradient_budget: f32 test data for grad_buf/cql_scratch
- fast_isnan/fast_isinf: bit-pattern IEEE 754 checks in common header
  (survives --use_fast_math which makes isnan() return false)
- All standalone kernels in ml-dqn get common header (no more standalone)

895/895 unit tests pass. Smoke tests: intermittent NaN from forward-pass
bf16 arithmetic (not from gradients). The remaining NaN source is cuBLAS
GemmEx bf16 output overflow → Inf logits that survive bias clamping in
edge cases. Needs investigation of which specific layer/sample triggers it.

Frontend

web-dashboard/ -- React 19 + TypeScript + Vite + TradingView charts.

Building

# Check compilation (no PostgreSQL required)
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check --workspace

# Run tests for a specific crate
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p <crate> --lib

# Clippy

ML Models

Four production model architectures on Candle v0.9.1 with CUDA:

  • DQN Rainbow -- Deep Q-Network with prioritized replay, dueling heads, noisy nets
  • PPO -- Proximal Policy Optimization with GAE and LSTM policies
  • TFT -- Temporal Fusion Transformer for multi-horizon forecasting
  • Mamba2 -- State space model for sequence prediction

Each model has a standalone trainer and a UnifiedTrainable adapter for the hyperopt pipeline.

Infrastructure

  • Git: Gitea at git.fxhnt.ai (Tailscale-only), Scaleway DEV1-S
  • Observability: OpenTelemetry OTLP (env OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT)
  • Database: PostgreSQL with SQLx offline mode for CI
