- TinyTransformer::with_compute_dtype(BF16): embedding stays fp32
master then casts to bf16; each linear casts its fp32 weight to bf16
on the fly; logits cast back to fp32 for cross-entropy. Default F32
reproduces the v0-v4 forward graph bit-for-bit.
- --bf16 flag on bin/train and bin/train_ddp (off by default).
- tests/bf16.rs: same fp32 master weights run fp32 vs bf16; assert
loss/logits/grads within a loose bf16 tol, no NaN, and grads are
fp32 (master untouched).

forward_batched(ids[B*S], batch)/loss_batched: run B equal-length sequences as
ONE forward over flattened [B*S] ids, so every linear is one big [B*S,dim] GEMM.
Attention reshapes to [B*nh,S,hd], runs the fused batched causal SDPA (per-seq
mask + RoPE period=S, no cross-sequence attention), writes back [B*S,dim]. The
old per-(batch,head) loop + host-round-tripping split/merge_heads + the additive
causal_mask leaf are gone. forward(ids[seq]) is now forward_batched(ids,1), so
the sampler / inference path (batch=1) is unchanged.
+batched_ids_tensor helper. New batched.rs test: batched forward == looped
single-sequence (logits identical 0.0, grads 6.4e-4, loss identical). PyTorch
parity now exercises B>1 (B=2,S=4): loss 5e-8, logits 6.9e-6, all 25 param
grads within rtol — verifying per-seq RoPE position + per-seq causal masking.

xserv's Qwen3 forward unconditionally applies per-head RMSNorm to Q and K
(q_norm/k_norm, shape [head_dim]) before RoPE — even gamma=1 is a real RMS
divide, not identity. xtrain never had this, so an exact xserv<->xtrain loop
was structurally impossible. Add it (reusing the 2D rms_norm op on the
[seq*nh, hd] head rows, inserted between reshape and rope to mirror
qwen3.rs's order) so the trained model is genuinely Qwen3-compatible.
params() inserts q_norm,k_norm after wv; num_params() counts them; the
PyTorch parity refs (parity.py / adamw_parity.py) + their name lists add the
same step so the dumps stay self-consistent.

parity_dump.rs (#[ignore] fixture generator) dumps the model's exact
weights, ids, forward logits, loss, and per-param grads after one
backward. parity.py rebuilds the IDENTICAL model in PyTorch (same x@W
convention, RoPE rotate_half pos=row, RMSNorm, SwiGLU, causal SDPA),
runs fwd+bwd, and compares logits + every grad within rtol.
