🤗Thanks a lot @haeggee.bsky.social and @mjaggi.bsky.social for having me in the MLO group at EPFL @icepfl.bsky.social to present "Large Language Models as Markov Chains". Slides are available on my website (link in thread). 🎉 New experiments with Llama and Gemma models in the updated paper!

Learning rate schedules seem mysterious? Why is the loss going down so fast during cooldown? Turns out that this behaviour can be described with a bound from *convex, nonsmooth* optimization. A short thread on our latest paper 🚞 arxiv.org/abs/2501.18965

The Surprising Agreement Between Convex Optimization Theory and Learning-Rate Scheduling for Large Model Training
We show that learning-rate schedules for large model training behave surprisingly similar to a performance bound from non-smooth convex optimization theory. We provide a bound for the constant schedul...
