The authors derive a Maximally Scale-Stable Parameterization (MSSP) for MoE models that achieves robust learning-rate transfer and monotonic performance gains with scale across co-scaling regimes of width, experts, and sparsity.
In extensive-width networks, features are recovered sequentially through sharp phase transitions, yielding an effective width k_c that unifies Bayes-optimal generalization error scaling as Θ(k_c d / n).
Muon achieves higher storage capacity than SGD and matches Newton's method in one-step recovery rates for associative memory under power-law distributions, while saturating at larger critical batch sizes and showing faster initial multi-step dynamics.
