Drop-Muon: Update Less, Converge Faster
Kaja Gruntkowska, Yassine Maziane, Zheng Qu +1
Conventional wisdom in deep learning optimization dictates updating all layers at every step-a principle followed by all recent state-of-the-art optimizers such as Muon. In this wo…
Non-Euclidean Broximal Point Method: A Blueprint for Geometry-Aware Optimization
Kaja Gruntkowska, Peter Richtárik
The recently proposed Broximal Point Method (BPM) [Gruntkowska et al., 2025] offers an idealized optimization framework based on iteratively minimizing the objective function over…
Error Feedback for Muon and Friends
Kaja Gruntkowska, Alexander Gaponov, Zhirayr Tovmasyan +1
Recent optimizers like Muon, Scion, and Gluon have pushed the frontier of large-scale deep learning by exploiting layer-wise linear minimization oracles (LMOs) over non-Euclidean n…
Gluon: Making Muon & Scion Great Again! (Bridging Theory and Practice of LMO-based Optimizers for LLMs)
Artem Riabinin, Egor Shulgin, Kaja Gruntkowska +1
Recent developments in deep learning optimization have brought about radically new algorithms based on the Linear Minimization Oracle (LMO) framework, such as and $\sf S…
