Researchers have developed a novel method for memory-efficient training of transformer models by using local proxy networks. These proxies, trained via distillation, estimate the backpropagation gradients, allowing for independent gradient propagation through the local proxy. This approach offers an exact solution for deep linear networks and bounded gradient errors for non-linear residual models. Numerical verification shows that optimizing the distillation loss improves gradient estimation, and evaluations on CIFAR-100 with vision transformers demonstrate a superior accuracy/memory trade-off compared to existing local algorithms. The method is also effective for fine-tuning large language models with limited memory, outperforming other memory-efficient learning algorithms in speed and performance. AI
