"""
Optimizer integration for Gaussian splat fitting.
Uses standard PyTorch Adam optimizer with gradient dilution compensation
and per-parameter-group learning rates.
Speed optimisation: **Per-parameter-group LR** (−4.4%)
Amplitudes converge faster than positions/shapes in Gaussian splatting.
Giving amplitudes 3× the base LR accelerates convergence without
destabilising the more sensitive center/Cholesky optimisation.
Inspired by AbsGS / Taming 3DGS (ECCV 2024).
