Muon-MVR2 attains the optimal anytime convergence rate of ~O(T^{-1/3}) in stochastic non-convex settings under horizon-free schedules.
PolarAdamW disentangles spectral control from gauge-equivariance in matrix optimizers, with experiments demonstrating their distinct roles on standard versus symmetry-aware neural networks.
Proximal stochastic spectral preconditioning converges for nonconvex constrained objectives under heavy-tailed noise, with a variance-reduced version achieving faster rates and a refined analysis of Muon iterations.
Proposes low-rank orthogonalization and derives low-rank Muon and MSGD variants that outperform standard Muon on GPT-2 and LLaMA pretraining while providing iteration complexity bounds.
