A new research paper explores the intricacies of adapting trained transformer models for new tasks. The study found that while small perturbations around a trained checkpoint are generally predictable, the composition of these updates and the stability of task structures prove to be fragile. Specifically, the research indicates a limited window for predictable changes, with pairwise task composition and update ordering becoming sensitive within this range. The paper also highlights that task-gradient subspaces can rotate rapidly, and the correspondence between weight edits and representation space is not universally stable across different models and task combinations.
