Low-rank approximation of optimizer momentum states (as in Taming Momentum) can reduce memory overhead in training LLM-based evolutionary search systems like AdaEvolve without degrading solution quality.

openai: It’s falsifiable (measure memory vs. solution quality), and Taming Momentum/FlashOptim plausibly support the “reduce memory” part, but there’s little direct evidence these optimizer-state tricks transfer to AdaEvolve-style LLM evolutionary search (often inference-time/zeroth-order and not dominat...
anthropic: The hypothesis combines two real techniques (Taming Momentum's low-rank approximation and AdaEvolve's evolutionary LLM search) in a plausible way, but AdaEvolve uses LLMs as zeroth-order mutation operators rather than gradient-based optimizers with momentum states, making the core premise of appl...
google: The hypothesis conflates gradient-based training (which uses momentum states
