QAT Implementation Details

Code Statistics

• ml/src/memory_optimization/qat.rs: 1,739 lines
• ml/src/tft/qat_tft.rs: 976 lines
• ml/src/qat_metrics_exporter.rs: 429 lines
• Total: 3,144 lines of production QAT code

Test Coverage

• 30 unit tests (100% passing)
• Device migration: CPU↔CPU, CPU↔CUDA, CUDA↔CUDA (all passing)
• Observer state: Save/load, validation, checkpointing (all passing)
• TFT integration: Wrapper, forward pass, calibration (all passing)

Production Readiness

FP32 Models (Ready Now)

• ✅ DQN: ~15s training, ~200μs inference, ~6MB memory
• ✅ PPO: ~7s training, ~324μs inference, ~145MB memory
• ✅ MAMBA-2: ~1.86min training, ~500μs inference, ~164MB memory
• ✅ TFT-FP32: ~2min training, ~2.9ms inference, ~525-550MB memory
• Total GPU Budget: 840-865MB (21% of 4GB RTX 3050 Ti)

QAT Models (Infrastructure Ready)

• ✅ TFT-INT8-PTQ: ~3.2ms inference, ~125MB memory (ready now)
• ⚠️ TFT-INT8-QAT: Requires gradient checkpointing for TFT-225 (Phase 2)
• ✅ TFT-90 QAT: Works without checkpointing (ready now)

---

Outstanding Items (Non-Blocking)

Phase 2 Enhancements (Optional)

1. Gradient checkpointing for TFT-225 QAT (1-2 weeks)
2. OOM recovery integration into training loop (8 hours)
3. QAT support for MAMBA-2, DQN, PPO (2-3 weeks)
4. PPO shared trunk architecture (21-31% memory reduction, 6-10 hours)

Known Limitations

• Gradient checkpointing: CLI flag exists but implementation incomplete
• OOM recovery: AutoBatchSizer exists but no retry loop
• Multi-model QAT: Only TFT supported currently

Deployment Decision Matrix

FP32 Deployment (APPROVED)

• ✅ All tests passing (2,970/2,970)
• ✅ Release builds compile (5m 55s, 0 errors)
• ✅ 225 features operational
• ✅ Database migration 045 applied
• ✅ Wave D backtest validated (Sharpe 2.00, Win Rate 60%)
• ✅ Docker services healthy
• ✅ Region targeting fixed (EUR-IS-1)

Recommendation: DEPLOY IMMEDIATELY

QAT Deployment Options

Option 1: TFT-90 QAT (Ready Now)

• ✅ 90-day dataset fits in 4GB GPU memory
• ✅ All tests passing (30/30)
• ✅ No gradient checkpointing needed
• ⏱️ Timeline: Can deploy today

Option 2: TFT-225 QAT (Phase 2)

• ⚠️ Requires gradient checkpointing implementation
• ⚠️ Estimated 1-2 weeks for full implementation
• ⏱️ Timeline: 2-3 weeks total

Recommendation: Use FP32 for TFT-225 now, deploy TFT-90 QAT in parallel
