+//! Online quantization calibration.
+//!
+//! Tracks running tensor statistics (EMA of amax, running percentile via
+//! histogram) during actual inference or early training steps, eliminating the
+//! need for a separate offline calibration pass.
+//!
+//! This follows the approach used by TensorRT-LLM and NVIDIA Transformer
+//! Engine for INT8/FP8 deployment.
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use rtx_compress::quantization::online_calib::{CalibMethod, OnlineCalibrator, ModelCalibrator};
+//!
+//! // Single-tensor INT8 calibration via EMA
+//! let mut calib = OnlineCalibrator::int8_ema("layer0.weight", 0.999);
+//! calib.observe(&[0.1, -0.5, 0.3, 0.9]);
+//! calib.observe(&[0.2, -0.4, 0.8, 0.1]);
+//! let scale = calib.scale().expect("at least one observation required");
+//!
+//! // Model-wide calibration
+//! let mut model_calib = ModelCalibrator::new(CalibMethod::MaxAbs, 127.0);
+//! model_calib.observe("fc1.weight", &[0.1, -0.9, 0.5]);
+//! model_calib.observe("fc2.weight", &[-0.3, 0.7, 0.2]);
+//! let scales = model_calib.export_scales();

+//! Gradient Noise Scale (GNS) Monitor
+//!
+//! Implements the gradient noise scale estimator from McCandlish et al. (2018),
+//! "An Empirical Model of Large-Batch Training" (arXiv:1812.06162).
+//!
+//! GNS measures the ratio of gradient noise to gradient signal:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! B_noise = tr(Σ) / |g|²
+//! ```
+//!
+//! where Σ is the gradient covariance and g is the mean gradient. A large
+//! `B_noise` means the current batch size is well below the critical batch
+//! size — adding more samples still improves gradient quality. A small
+//! `B_noise` means the batch is already at or above the critical size and
+//! further scaling gives diminishing returns.
+//!
+//! ## Two-Point Estimator
+//!
+//! In practice GNS is computed from two gradient norms measured at a large
+//! batch B and a small batch S in the same step:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! G² = (B·‖g_B‖² − S·‖g_S‖²) / (B − S)
+//! S² = (‖g_S‖² − ‖g_B‖²) / (1/S − 1/B)
+//! B_noise = S² / G²
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Single-Estimate Mode
+//!
+//! When only one gradient norm per step is available, `update_single` uses a
+//! Welford online variance over the running EMA to approximate the noise
+//! component. This is less accurate but requires no extra forward pass.
+//!
+//! ## Example
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use rtx_transformers::training::gradient_noise_scale::{GradientNoiseScale, GnsTracker};
+//!
+//! // Two-point estimation
+//! let mut gns = GradientNoiseScale::new(0.99, 256);
+//! let estimate = gns.update(1.2, 1.8, 32);
+//! assert!(estimate.noise_scale >= 0.0);
+//!
+//! // Tracker with history
+//! let mut tracker = GnsTracker::new(0.99, 256, 100);
+//! let est = tracker.update(1.2, 1.8, 32);
+//! println!("GNS: {:.2}, recommended batch: {}", est.noise_scale, est.recommended_batch_size);
+//! ```
