arXiv:2605.21486v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hyperparameter transfer allows extrapolating optimal optimization hyperparameters from small to large scales, making it critical for training large language models (LLMs). This is done either by fitting a scaling law to the hyperparameters or by a judicious choice of parameterization, such as Maximal Update ($\mu$P), that renders optimal hyperparameters approximately scale invariant. In this paper, we first develop a framework to quantify hyperparameter transfer through three metrics: (1) the quality of the scaling law fit, (2) the robustness to
The paper is a new arXiv publication, reflecting ongoing cutting-edge research into optimizing large language model training as LLM development intensifies globally.
Efficient hyperparameter transfer is critical for cost-effectively scaling LLM training, directly impacting the economic viability and accessibility of advanced AI, especially for larger models.
The ability to quantify hyperparameter transfer creates a more systematic approach to scaling LLM training, potentially reducing computational waste and accelerating model development.
