OptMuon: Closed-Loop Orthogonalized Momentum Methods for Stochastic Optimization with Zero-Noise Optimality

arXiv:2606.08783v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Orthogonalized momentum updates, as used in Muon-style optimizers, have recently shown strong empirical stability in large-scale deep learning. However, existing orthogonalized methods are typically paired with constant or open-loop magnitude rules, and therefore do not explicitly calibrate their update magnitudes from the observed optimization trajectory. Motivated by the closed-loop perspective behind Lipschitz-free and noise-adaptive methods, we propose OptMuon, a family of adaptive momentum orthogonalization methods for stochastic nonconvex
