// OptiRS - Ranger Optimizer
// RAdam + Lookahead combination for improved convergence and stability
// Reference: "Ranger - a synergistic optimizer" by Less Wright (2019)
//
// Ranger combines:
// 1. RAdam (Rectified Adam) - Adaptive learning rate with variance rectification
// 2. Lookahead - Slow and fast weight updates for stability
//
// This combination provides:
// - Fast convergence from RAdam
// - Stability and reduced variance from Lookahead
// - Better generalization than either optimizer alone
