Paper details uniform scaling limits in AdamW-trained transformers

Researchers have published a paper detailing uniform scaling limits in transformers trained with the AdamW optimizer. The study models hidden-state dynamics as an interacting particle system, demonstrating convergence to a forward-backward system of ODEs. This convergence rate is dependent on the transformer's depth and number of heads, with specific mathematical bounds derived that are independent of token count and embedding dimension. AI
