arXiv:2607.04033v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Optimizer selection for large-scale model training has become a system-level design decision constrained jointly by compute, memory, tuning budget, and task diversity, yet the landscape of over one hundred methods remains fragmented. We therefore present OmniOpt, a unified survey and benchmark cookbook of optimizers for the research community. OmniOpt rests on four coupled components. First, we treat every optimizer update as a structured transformation through a five-stage meta-pipeline, and show that most methods engage only one or two of the
The proliferation of AI models, increasing scale of training, and diverse computational constraints necessitate a more systematic approach to optimizer selection for efficiency and performance.
A unified taxonomy and benchmark for optimizers will standardize a critical component of AI training, potentially accelerating breakthroughs and reducing computational waste across the industry.
The fragmented landscape of AI optimizers will become more organized, enabling more informed design decisions for large-scale model training and potentially leading to more efficient AI development pipelines.
