Fixes #780: Decoupled device and dtype selections

[Varun-sai-500]

📝 Description

Fixes/Relates to: #780

🛠️ Changes Made

Incorrect hardware assumption as not all CUDA GPUs support BF16, So I have added checks where it will check with compute compatibility, so it will check before randomly accomodating bf16 to cuda devices

Overall I have added clean code architecture to the device selection and dtype selection

🧪 How Was This Tested?

• Unit Tests: (List new/updated tests)
• Manual Verification: (Describe the steps you took)
• Performance/Edge Cases: (How does this handle nulls, large data, etc.?)

Review: Incomplete Implementation

While this PR addresses a legitimate architectural issue, the implementation is incomplete and doesn't deliver what's promised.

✅ What Works

• Successfully decouples device and dtype selection into separate functions
• Clean separation of concerns

❌ Critical Issues

1. Missing Compute Capability Checks
The PR description claims to add "checks where it will check with compute compatibility" but this is not implemented. The code still only checks if device.is_cuda() - the same level of hardware awareness as before.

2. Undocumented BF16 → F16 Change
The code silently switches from DType::BF16 to DType::F16 for CUDA devices without explanation. This:

• Isn't mentioned in the PR description
• May impact model accuracy/performance
• Doesn't solve the original problem (not all GPUs support F16 efficiently either)

3. No Hardware Capability Detection
Issue #780 specifically requests runtime capability checks for GPU compatibility. The new code still assumes all CUDA devices support F16.

Required Changes

The select_dtype function needs actual hardware capability detection:

fn select_dtype(device: &Device) -> DType {
    #[cfg(feature = "cuda")]
    if device.is_cuda() {
        // Check actual compute capability
        if let Ok(capability) = device.compute_capability() {
            if capability >= (8, 0) { // Ampere+ supports BF16
                return DType::BF16;
            } else if capability >= (5, 3) { // Maxwell+ supports F16  
                return DType::F16;
            }
        }
        return DType::F32; // Fallback for older GPUs
    }
    DType::F32
}

Additional Requirements

• Document the BF16 → F16 change and rationale
• Add tests for different GPU capabilities
• Update PR description to match actual implementation

This creates good architectural foundation but needs the core feature - hardware capability detection - to be truly useful.
