                .learning_rate(0.001)
                .enable_simd(true)
        });

    // Train the agent on task patterns
    agent.train_on_tasks(&training_tasks, 100).await?;
    
    // Use trained agent for optimized task processing
    let optimized_result = agent.process_with_learning(task).await?;
