StoSignSGD resolves SignSGD divergence on non-smooth objectives via structural stochasticity, matching optimal convex rates and improving non-convex bounds while delivering 1.44-2.14x speedups in FP8 LLM pretraining.
Their analysis establishes convergence under generalized heavy-tailed noise and removes the dimensional dependence present in prior works [Dong et al., 2024, Jiang and Zhang, 2025]
