arXiv:2509. 25136v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Activation-aware low-rank factorization techniques yield strong compression results but are generally confined to linear layers, while existing whitening-based theory typically makes an implicit full-rank assumption on activations.

Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in visual generative modeling, yet their training remains computationally prohibitive. While the recently proposed Momentum Orthogonalization (Muon) optimizer offers a promising alternative to AdamW, its direct application to DiTs yields suboptimal late-stage convergence.

Post-training compression is essential for deploying large language models (LLMs) under tight resource constraints. Tensor decompositions have emerged as a promising direction, offering compact parameterizations well suited to Transformer weight structures.
arXiv:2607. 20652v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language models are thought to exhibit the phenomenon of superposition, representing many more features than dimensions in their residual streams.
