This update introduces a significant enhancement in the precision of numerical outputs across various modules of the FLAML project by dynamically adjusting the number of significant figures. This adjustment is particularly useful for logs where numerical precision is critical for understanding model performance nuances. These changes ensure that numerical outputs are not just precise but also meaningful, avoiding the loss of critical information due to overly truncated numbers. This is a key step forward in making our logs and outputs as informative and actionable as possible.

This pull request introduces an enhancement to the numerical precision of output logs across various modules within the FLAML project by dynamically adjusting the number of significant figures displayed. This feature is crucial in contexts where precise numerical detail is necessary for comprehending subtle nuances in model performance.
Key improvements:
format_integersensures that numbers are formatted to a dynamic number of significant figures based on the first non-zero digit after the decimal point, with a minimum threshold of four significant figures.This update aligns with FLAML's ongoing efforts to enhance usability and clarity in model evaluation and tuning processes.
