Temperon: Full-Time SAM Quality at a Third Less Wall-Clock

The paper introduces Temperon, a training strategy that uses plain SGD for the first 43% of the epoch budget and then hands off to a SAM‑wrapped Muon refiner for the remaining training. On datasets such as CIFAR‑10/100, SVHN, and Tiny ImageNet, Temperon achieves the same or better accuracy as full‑time SAM while reaching key performance targets faster and at lower cost. Ablation studies show that the Muon refiner contributes the majority of the performance gain, while the initial SGD explorer and its restarts add negligible benefit.
