jgrusewski 4ab6975c38 fix(ml): wire activation_multiplier, cache GPU detection, fix stale comments
- Scale model_memory_mb by activation_multiplier in resolve_batch_size()
  so TFT (2.5x) gets proportionally smaller batches than DQN (1.0x)
- Add cached_capabilities() with OnceLock to avoid spawning nvidia-smi
  on every call to CampaignConfig::dqn_default/ppo_default/PpoTrainer::new
- Add PartialEq to GpuCapabilities and simplify serde roundtrip test
- Update stale "RTX 3050 Ti" and "Exceeds GPU limit (230)" comments
  to reflect dynamic detection
- Document Auto variant silent CPU fallback behavior (no callers affected)

Machine learning models for Foxhunt.

Models

  • DQN (Rainbow) -- Deep Q-Network with prioritized experience replay, dueling heads, noisy nets, double Q-learning
  • PPO -- Proximal Policy Optimization with GAE, LSTM policies, clip-higher option
  • TFT -- Temporal Fusion Transformer for multi-horizon time series forecasting
  • Mamba2 -- State space model for efficient sequence prediction
  • Liquid Networks -- Biologically inspired neural networks for non-stationary data
  • TLOB -- Transformer-based Limit Order Book analysis
  • Flash Attention -- Optimized attention implementation

Training

Two paths per model:

  1. Standalone trainer -- direct training loop (e.g., DQN::train, PpoTrainer)
  2. UnifiedTrainable adapter -- wraps models for the hyperopt pipeline (e.g., DQNTrainableAdapter, UnifiedTrainablePPO)

Inference

InferenceAdapterBridge connects models to the ensemble coordinator in adaptive-strategy. Each model exposes an InferenceAdapter trait for prediction.

Backend

  • Candle v0.9.1 -- VarMap, AdamW, loss.backward(), GradStore, opt.step(&grads)
  • CUDA required for training -- tested on RTX 3050 Ti 4GB, max batch size 230
  • CPU inference supported

Hyperopt

ArgminOptimizer (Particle Swarm Optimization) with per-model adapters: DQN, PPO, ContinuousPPO, TFT, Mamba2. Uses ParameterSpace trait for continuous parameter mapping.

ModelType Enum

15 variants: CompactDQN, DistilledMicroNet, DQN, RainbowDQN, MAMBA, TFT, TGGN, LNN, TLOB, PPO, Transformer, Mamba, LiquidNet, TGNN, Ensemble.
