New spectral framework enhances scaling for generative foundation models

Researchers have developed a spectral framework to address challenges in scaling generative foundation models, particularly in stable feature learning and hyperparameter transfer across varying widths and depths. This framework unifies existing maximal update parameterization ($\mu$P) formulations and identifies a CompleteP-style parameterization as more suitable for architectures like Transformers. Experiments on GPT-2 style models demonstrate that this CompleteP-style parameterization ensures stable learning and robust hyperparameter transfer, unlike standard or Depth-$\mu$P-style parameterizations. AI

IMPACT Provides a theoretical and practical method to improve the stability and transferability of hyperparameters in large-scale generative models.

    Spectral Condition for $\mu$P under Width-Depth Scaling

    arXiv:2603.00541v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative foundation models are increasingly scaled in both width and depth, posing significant challenges for stable feature learning and reliable hyperparameter (HP) transfer across model sizes. While maximal update par…
