arXiv:2603. 24002v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) for high-dimensional and high-order partial differential equations (PDEs) are primarily constrained by the $\mathcal{O}(d^k)$ spatial derivative complexity and the $\mathcal{O}(P)$ memory overhead of backpropagation (BP).

GRADSOLVE is an open‑source JAX library that provides fast, exact reverse‑mode gradients for low‑dimensional ordinary differential equation (ODE) ensembles on NVIDIA GPUs. It records the accepted steps of an adaptive solver and differentiates a fixed‑step replay, yielding the exact discrete adjoint at a lower computational cost than traditional checkpointed methods. Benchmarks show that GRADSOLVE’s forward kernel is 2.8× faster than DiffEqGPU.jl, and its gradient computation is 5.6–14.1× faster than Diffrax’s checkpointed adjoint while maintaining matched forward‑state accuracy across multiple GPU generations.

The paper introduces Finite-Library Input-Warped Bayesian Optimization (FLIWBO), a method that selects input warps from a finite library to adapt the geometry used by Gaussian‑process Bayesian optimization. FLIWBO maintains high‑probability convergence guarantees while improving sample efficiency on problems where raw coordinates poorly match the objective’s geometry, such as log‑scaled hyperparameters or localized peaks. Experiments on synthetic benchmarks, Fashion‑MNIST hyperparameter tuning, and a 20‑dimensional multi‑agent system design demonstrate that FLIWBO‑UCB outperforms raw‑coordinate GP‑UCB and other methods with regret guarantees, especially under misspecified geometry.

The paper introduces TACO, a new optimizer for fine‑tuning large language models that drastically reduces optimizer state memory while preserving first‑order gradients. TACO selects the sign of the largest magnitude entry in each column of weight matrices, achieving a 174× reduction in persistent optimizer memory compared to AdamW8bit and a 2.9× decrease in peak training memory on OPT‑13B. This allows full‑parameter fine‑tuning of 30–32B‑parameter models on a single 80 GB GPU across multiple model families and tasks, with comparable accuracy and runtime to existing methods.

arXiv:2606. 10706v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Resource constraints increasingly determine what can be trained, fine-tuned, and deployed in large language models (LLMs), yet efficiency is often studied through isolated techniques rather than as an interacting system of limits.
