feat(modal): add Modal GPU inference endpoint for samosaChaat
- modal/serve.py: FastAPI endpoint on Modal T4 GPU, streams SSE tokens
- modal/_model.py: Standalone GPT model (auto-detects architecture from checkpoint)
- modal/_tokenizer.py: Standalone BPE tokenizer (tiktoken-based)
- Downloads nanochat-students/base-d20 weights from HuggingFace
- Deployed at: https://manmohan659--samosachaat-inference-inference-generate.modal.run

Deploy: modal deploy modal/serve.py
Dev:    modal serve modal/serve.py

samosaChaat — Modal GPU inference endpoint.
Downloads nanochat model weights from HuggingFace into a Modal Volume,
loads them on a GPU, and exposes an SSE streaming endpoint compatible
with the samosaChaat chat-api service.
