AMUSE: Anytime Muon with Stable Gradient Evaluation

arXiv:2605. 22432v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern deep learning commonly relies on AdamW with prescribed learning rate schedules, but recent works challenge both components: Schedule-Free optimization removes explicit schedules via iterate averaging, and Muon improves the update geometry by orthogonalizing momentum for matrix parameters.
