CacheMuon: Using Temporal Preconditioning To Approximate Polar Factor

arXiv:2606. 16371v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Muon is an optimizer that computes updates using the polar factor of the momentum matrix and has shown strong empirical performance across a range of training settings.

Muse: Representation Geometry of Muon Beyond Normalized Momentum

arXiv:2607. 14536v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Muon-style optimizers apply a polar map to matrix momentum, but their updates also depend on the representation of each parameter block before orthogonalization.
