arXiv:2602. 10545v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern large-scale neural networks are often trained and released in multiple sizes to accommodate diverse inference budgets.
Scaling laws promised cost-effective experiments; six years later, they have yet to fully deliver. Instead, researchers have found them unreliable at small scales (starting at 4M parameters) and concluded that sizable models cannot be avoided.

arXiv:2511. 04981v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Model depth is a double-edged sword in deep learning: deeper models achieve higher accuracy but require higher computational cost.
arXiv:2607. 05017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The performance of deep learning models crucially depends on the settings of hyperparameters like learning rate, initialization scale, and weight decay.
arXiv:2606. 04048v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training and scaling Large Language Models demand enormous computational resources, motivating both efficient sub-quadratic architectures and principled hyperparameter tuning methods.
arXiv:2602. 03001v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: To maximize hardware utilization, modern machine learning systems typically employ large constant or manually tuned batch size schedules, relying on heuristics that are brittle and costly to tune.
arXiv:2606. 28242v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding how performance scales jointly with model size and data is a central problem in modern machine learning.
arXiv:2602. 19799v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite recent algorithmic advances, we still lack principled ways to leverage the well-documented rescaling symmetries in ReLU neural network parameters.
arXiv:2606. 16112v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Residual architectures are ubiquitous in deep learning, but they suffer from a subtle structural limitation: the norm of the residual stream can grow rapidly with depth.
arXiv:2602. 07494v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Deeper modern architectures are costly to train, making hyperparameter transfer preferable to expensive repeated tuning.
arXiv:2607. 09967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many neural networks operations have a multiplicative nature rather than additive: halving or doubling a norm are analogous relatively but require unequal optimization distances when taking linear steps.
arXiv:2606. 29158v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning-rate transfer can reduce the cost of training large language models: instead of sweeping learning rates at target scale, practitioners extrapolate from smaller runs.
