Lion Optimizer for BitTransformerLM Extensions
==============================================
Implementation of the Lion optimizer (EvoLved Sign Momentum).
Based on "Symbolic Discovery of Optimization Algorithms" research.
Key features:
- Sign-based momentum updates
- Extremely memory efficient (only stores momentum)
- Often outperforms Adam/AdamW with larger learning rates
- Compatible with BitTransformerLM's training infrastructure
