arXiv:2605.31594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Communication costs are a major bottleneck in distributed learning and first-order optimization. A common approach to alleviate this issue is to compress the gradient information exchanged between agents. However, such compression typically degrades the convergence guarantees of gradient-based methods. Error feedback mechanisms provide a simple and computationally cheap remedy for this issue, but numerous variants have been proposed, and their relative performance remains poorly understood. This paper provides tight convergence analyses for two o
