Researchers have introduced MRT-FD, a novel first-order method designed to tackle stochastic bilevel optimization problems. This method simultaneously manages the upper-level variable, the lower-level solution, and an auxiliary response derived from implicit differentiation. MRT-FD achieves an $\varepsilon$-stationary point with $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^{-4-2/p})$ stochastic gradient queries, matching a proven oracle lower bound for any fixed finite smoothness order $p$. This development effectively closes the complexity gap in stochastic first-order oracle settings for this class of optimization problems. AI
