Demystifying Manifold Constraints in LLM Pre-training

cs.LG · 2026-05-06 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Manifold constraints via the new MACRO optimizer independently bound activation scales and enforce rotational equilibrium in LLM pre-training, subsuming RMS normalization and decoupled weight decay while delivering competitive performance with convergence guarantees.

  • Hierarchical Muon: Tiled Newton-Schulz Updates for Efficient Muon Optimization math.NA · 2026-06-25 · unverdicted · none · ref 66

    HiMuon partitions momentum-gradient matrices into T x T tiles, runs independent Newton-Schulz iterations on each tile, and reassembles the results, reducing leading cost to O(H W T K) while defining a local rather than global matrix map.

  • Demystifying Manifold Constraints in LLM Pre-training cs.LG · 2026-05-06 · unverdicted · none · ref 41

    Manifold constraints via the new MACRO optimizer independently bound activation scales and enforce rotational equilibrium in LLM pre-training, subsuming RMS normalization and decoupled weight decay while delivering competitive performance with convergence guarantees.

  • Memory-Efficient LLM Pretraining via Minimalist Optimizer Design cs.LG · 2025-06-20 · conditional · none · ref 10

    SCALE matches Adam performance in LLM pretraining from 60M to 7B parameters by combining column-wise gradient normalization with last-layer-only momentum, using 35-45% of Adam's memory.
