# Gemma 4 26B-A4B MoE QLoRA with ScatterMoE kernels
#
# Validated: 50 steps on FineTome-100k, loss 8.8 -> 1.8, single RTX 5090 (32GB)
# torch_compile=true: 21 GiB peak VRAM, ~230 tok/s, 336s total
#
# Key notes:
# - Max sequence length on 32GB GPU: 2048 (micro_batch_size=1, SDP attention).
# 4096 seq_len OOMs due to head_dim=512 math SDP materializing full score matrix.
# Use 48GB+ GPUs for longer sequences or multi-GPU with FSDP.
