"""Cross-provider GPU allocation: the cheapest class that comfortably fits the run. Given a base model (+ algorithm), compute the VRAM the FULL run needs — sized for the heavier phase, GRPO, since the typical pipeline is SFT followed by GRPO — then rank every provisionable candidate across ALL registered providers by live $/hr and pick the cheapest: runpod every Flash-provisionable class (live pricing, cached; static fallback) vast live verified-datacenter offers (usable_offers' quality floors applied) Allocation happens at SUBMIT time in the runner (offers are a volatile market); the parse-time resolution in schema is a RunPod-static provisional for validation/dry-run display. Offline (AUTOSLM_SKIP_NET) the allocator degrades to exactly ``cheapest_gpu``'s deterministic static-rate answer (RunPod only — Vast is offline-off). Provider-agnostic by construction: it walks the registered providers and asks each for its ``gpu_classes()`` + ``hourly_rate()``; the only provider-specific knowledge is that Vast classes come from a live offer book (collected through the provider's ``usable_offers`` and carried opaquely on ``Candidate.offer``).
