Replace an instantaneous diagonal optimizer with a causal convolution of recent gradients, where cross-layer or cross-module gradient correlations define a finite-memory Onsager response matrix. Estimate the response at several parameter-block pairs and lags, integrate it to obtain a finite-time transport matrix, and use its regularized inverse or symmetric part to precondition the update. This targets optimization regimes in which gradients propagate between blocks with measurable delay, such…
Replace fixed chunked-prefill settings in an LLM serving engine with a feedback controller that decreases the number of prompt tokens processed per scheduling quantum as GPU saturation or long-context load increases. The controller targets a high-quantile bound on the absolute GPU-power ramp while preserving the existing peak-power ceiling and measuring the resulting latency-throughput tradeoff.
Replace deterministic LoRA importance scores with one-sided tests of whether each rank-one update has population contribution at least a user-selected threshold. Maintain empirical contribution samples during fine-tuning, estimate their uncertainty, and prune the components with the weakest statistical evidence while respecting the target rank budget. The method should avoid deleting components merely because their latest minibatch gradient was small.
