Full finetuning with the pretraining optimizer reduces forgetting compared to other optimizers or LoRA while achieving comparable new-task performance.
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.
HyperP transfers optimal learning rates across model width, depth, tokens, and MoE granularity under Frobenius-sphere constraints, delivering stable scaling and 1.58x efficiency gains.
SF-NorMuon is a new schedule-free spectral optimizer that closes the gap with tuned AdamW on 125M-772M parameter models across 1-8x Chinchilla horizons while providing stationarity guarantees.
