NuMuon: Nuclear-Norm-Constrained Muon for Compressible LLM Training
Hadi Mohaghegh Dolatabadi, Thalaiyasingam Ajanthan, Sameera Ramasinghe +7
The rapid progress of large language models (LLMs) is increasingly constrained by memory and deployment costs, motivating compression methods for practical deployment. Many state-o…
AsyncMesh: Fully Asynchronous Optimization for Data and Pipeline Parallelism
Thalaiyasingam Ajanthan, Sameera Ramasinghe, Gil Avraham +5
Data and pipeline parallelism are key strategies for scaling neural network training across distributed devices, but their high communication cost necessitates co-located computing…
Nesterov Method for Asynchronous Pipeline Parallel Optimization
Thalaiyasingam Ajanthan, Sameera Ramasinghe, Yan Zuo +2
Pipeline Parallelism (PP) enables large neural network training on small, interconnected devices by splitting the model into multiple stages. To maximize pipeline utilization, asyn…
Protocol Learning, Decentralized Frontier Risk and the No-Off Problem
Alexander Long
Frontier models are currently developed and distributed primarily through two channels: centralized proprietary APIs or open-sourcing of pre-trained weights. We identify a third pa…
