A new research paper provides a theoretical framework for understanding the success of non-Euclidean optimization methods like Muon and Scion in training Transformer models. The study focuses on the heavy-tailed non-convex regime, demonstrating that these methods achieve optimal sample complexity by absorbing noise without additional dimension dependence, unlike their Euclidean counterparts. The findings are supported by experiments on large language models and suggest potential for other Schatten geometries to perform competitively. AI
