Add GPU optimization: flash attention, mixed precision, kernel-based acceleration

"""GPU Optimization for AlphaForge
Modern ML training on GPU requires proper optimization to:
1. Reduce memory usage (fit larger models/batches)
2. Accelerate training (faster iterations)
3. Enable larger architectures (deeper, wider models)
Key technologies:
- Flash Attention: Memory-efficient attention with IO-awareness
- Mixed Precision (AMP): Use FP16/FP32 automatically
- Gradient Checkpointing: Trade compute for memory
- Kernel-based attention: Precompiled kernels from HF hub
- CUDA Graphs: Reduce CPU overhead
