#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Configure AutoML
    let config = AutoMLConfig::new()
        .with_task_type(TaskType::Classification)
        .with_time_budget(3600) // 1 hour
        .with_cv_folds(5);
    
    let mut agent = AutoMLAgent::new(config)?;
    
    // Prepare data
    let x_train = Tensor::randn(&[1000, 20], rtx_tensor::DType::F32);
    let y_train = Tensor::zeros(&[1000], rtx_tensor::DType::I64);
    
    // Train AutoML pipeline
    let pipeline = agent.fit(&x_train, &y_train).await?;
    
    // Make predictions
    let x_test = Tensor::randn(&[200, 20], rtx_tensor::DType::F32);
    let predictions = agent.predict(&pipeline, &x_test).await?;
    
    // Analyze results
    let leaderboard = agent.get_leaderboard();
    let importance = agent.get_feature_importance(&pipeline)?;
    
    println!("Best model: {}", pipeline.get_best_model());
    println!("Validation score: {:.4}", pipeline.get_validation_score());
    
    Ok(())
}
