mixed-precision

mixed-precision is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw. It costs 25 tokens per session (273 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to mixed-precision training, which uses lower-precision numbers for some GPU calculations to reduce memory use and speed up training.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure FP16 or BF16 automatic precision, loss scaling, GPU-specific choices, and checks for NaN gradients.
Why use it?
It helps use GPU resources more efficiently while addressing numerical problems such as unstable or missing gradients.

About the project

AutoResearchClaw is a system that turns a research idea into a scientific paper through autonomous and collaborative AI research workflows. It is for researchers who want agents to investigate questions, run experiments, and produce papers, with optional human guidance. Catalogue skills and agents provide parts of its research workflow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mixed-precision scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Mixed Precision Training Best Practice

Use torch.cuda.amp for automatic mixed precision:

  • Wrap forward pass in torch.cuda.amp.autocast()
  • Use GradScaler for loss scaling
  • BF16 preferred over FP16 on Ampere+ GPUs (RTX 3xxx, A100, RTX 4xxx)
  • Watch for NaN gradients — reduce learning rate if needed
  • Do NOT use amp with custom CUDA kernels unless tested

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

mixed-precision is a skill published in the GitHub repository aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw (14,361 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 273 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
