arXiv:2605.27733v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training instabilities such as loss spikes are frequently the result of stochastic gradient noise. Because of rare expressions in language training data, and multiple layer composition, the noise impact is heavy-tailed and survives mini-batch averaging. Existing remedies trade off structure against cost: vector-norm clipping ignores the matrix structure of weight updates, while spectral normalization (e.g., Muon (Jordan et al., 2024)) respects it at additional cost. We show that this trade-off can be balanced. Real gradient noise appears to be si
