Researchers have developed Dion3, an optimized version of the Muon optimizer designed to reduce computational and communication overhead. The new algorithm, Gram Newton-Schulz, along with CuTeDSL kernels and a megabatching strategy, significantly speeds up the orthogonalization process. Dion3 achieves comparable or better performance than Muon while reducing optimizer step time by up to six times, and is available as a drop-in replacement. AI
IMPACT Dion3's optimization could lead to faster and more efficient training of large AI models.
