Research direction

Start in cpu_adam.py at line 84 in init, where the AMD CPU and FP16 warning is emitted. Reproduce the warning on an AMD CPU with DeepSpeedCPUAdam and inspect whether FP16 parameters work; done means the issue has a verified compatibility answer or a clearly corrected warning behavior.
