Overview

  • Single-line code modification improves popular optimizers like AdamW
  • Creates new "Cautious Optimizer" variants (C-AdamW, C-Lion)
  • Achieves up to 1.47x speed improvement in neural network training
  • Maintains mathematical stability and convergence guarantees
  • Tested successfully on Llama and MAE model pretraining

Plain English Explanation

Think of neural network training like teaching a student. Traditional optimizers like AdamW are like tutors who adjust their teaching speed based on how quickly the student learns. The new Cautious Optim...
