Researchers have analyzed the training dynamics of a simplified linear transformer model, revealing how large learning rates can lead to complex behaviors beyond simple convergence. Their findings indicate that beyond stability thresholds, training can result in cycles, bounded chaos, or divergence instead of a single solution. This study offers insights into the finite-step behavior of gradient descent in transformers, with implications for mini-batch gradient descent methods. AI
