        .with_optimizer(Adam::new(0.001))
        .with_xla_optimization(true)
        .build()?;

    // Distributed optimization across TPU cores
    let mut params = optimizer.create_distributed_tensor(&[8192, 4096])?;

Development Guidelines

Coding Standards

To maintain consistency and readability across the codebase, please follow these guidelines:

Variable Naming

• Always use snake_case for variable names (e.g., user_id, max_iterations, learning_rate)
• Avoid camelCase or other naming conventions (e.g., userId ❌, maxIterations ❌)
• Use descriptive names that clearly indicate the variable's purpose

// ✅ Correct: snake_case
let experiment_id = "exp_001";
let max_epochs = 100;
let learning_rate = 0.001;

// ❌ Incorrect: camelCase or other formats
let experimentId = "exp_001";
let maxEpochs = 100;
let learningrate = 0.001;

Function and Method Names

• Use snake_case for function and method names
• Use descriptive verbs that indicate the function's action

Type Names

• Use PascalCase for struct, enum, and trait names
• Use SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE for constants

General Guidelines

• Follow Rust's official naming conventions as specified in RFC 430
• Use rustfmt and clippy to maintain code formatting and catch common issues
• Write clear, self-documenting code with appropriate comments

Before Submitting Code

1. Run cargo fmt to format your code
2. Run cargo clippy to check for lint issues
3. Ensure all tests pass with cargo test
4. Verify compilation with cargo check
