Left properness of Moore flows

Philippe Gaucher

We introduce the notion of a reparametrization category with cuts. For every such reparametrization category , we prove the tensor lemma, namely that the tensor product…

Evolution Strategies at Scale: LLM Fine-Tuning Beyond Reinforcement Learning

Xin Qiu, Yulu Gan, Conor F. Hayes +6

The paper shows that evolution strategies can successfully fine‑tune billion‑parameter large language models without backpropagation, outperforming reinforcement learning in stabil…

Efficient Pre-Training of LLMs through Truncated SVD Layers

Kaivan Kamali, Kajetan Schweighofer, Hormoz Shahrzad +3

The massive scaling of Large Language Models (LLMs) has made pretraining increasingly cost-prohibitive. While low-rank representation and orthonormal weight matrices could in princ…

TerraLingua: Emergence and Analysis of Open-endedness in LLM Ecologies

Giuseppe Paolo, Jamieson Warner, Hormoz Shahrzad +3

As autonomous agents increasingly operate in real-world digital ecosystems, understanding how they coordinate, form institutions, and accumulate shared culture becomes both a scien…

Solving a Million-Step LLM Task with Zero Errors

Elliot Meyerson, Giuseppe Paolo, Roberto Dailey +6

LLMs have achieved remarkable breakthroughs in reasoning, insights, and tool use, but chaining these abilities into extended processes at the scale of those routinely executed by h…
