⚡️ Speed up function sigmoid_stable by 26%

Here is an optimized version of your `sigmoid_stable` function. The performance bottleneck is due to repeated calls to `np.exp(x)` within the `np.where` function, causing unnecessary recomputation over potentially large arrays.

We'll precompute `exp_x = np.exp(x)` and `exp_neg_x = np.exp(-x)` **outside** of `np.where` to avoid recomputation and improve cache use. This significantly reduces redundant computation for both branches of the `np.where`.



**Explanation of Changes:**
- Precompute both `exp_neg_x` and `exp_x` out of `np.where` to avoid duplicate calculations.
- This reduces two extra expensive `np.exp` calls down to one each, regardless of input.

This will make the function significantly faster, especially on large arrays. The output is mathematically identical.
