jgrusewski 836a0ea91e fix(bf16): gradient clamping + relu_mask clamping — 11/11 smoke tests
Root cause chain for remaining NaN fully traced:
1. Loss gradient kernels write to bf16 d_logits via atomicAddBF16
2. 64 batch × 3 branches = 192 atomicAdds per element
3. CAS-loop atomicAddBF16 can overflow bf16 max during contention
4. NaN d_logits → NaN backward dX → NaN training

Fixes applied:
- Gradient value clamping: ±100 in MSE/C51 grad kernels (192 × 100 = 19200,
  within bf16 range, prevents the accumulated sum from overflowing)
- relu_mask clamping: ±500 in backward pass (clamps dX after GemmEx to prevent
  bf16 truncation overflow cascading between layers)
- Loss kernel guard: fast_isfinite on per-sample weighted_loss (catches the
  rare atomicAddBF16 CAS race that produces transient NaN)

Definitive fix (tracked): convert d_value_logits/d_adv_logits from bf16 to f32
with native atomicAdd(float*). Same pattern as grad_buf and total_loss_buf.
Requires backward dW GemmEx to read f32 dY (A matrix type change).

895/895 unit + 11/11 smoke tests pass.

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
