jgrusewski 3a16aeacfd fix: remove per-component gradient clipping — restores Adam's adaptive step size
Per-component budget clipping (C51→4.5, IQN→1.0, CQL→1.0) produced a
CONSTANT gradient norm every step (0.655 old split, 0.756 new split).
Adam's second moment v[i] converged to a constant, making
m_hat/sqrt(v_hat) → sign(m_hat) — Adam degenerated into SignSGD.
The optimizer could not adapt step sizes to loss landscape curvature.

Fix: remove all per-component clips. Loss weights (iqn_lambda=0.25,
CQL coefficient, ensemble weight) control component balance. Single
global clip inside Adam kernel is the sole safety mechanism.

Saves 9 kernel launches per training step:
- 3× grad_norm phase1+phase2 removed (IQN, CQL, ensemble)
- 3× clipped_saxpy → plain saxpy_f32 (no norm computation needed)
- 1× primary budget clip_grad_buf_inplace removed

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
