openai: It’s falsifiable (measure memory savings and downstream mutation/optimization quality), and low-rank EMA compression is supported by FlashOptim/Taming Momentum, but the link to “optimizer states” inside AdaEvolve’s evolutionary LLM mutation operators is tenuous—AdaEvolve is zeroth-order and may n...
anthropic: While the hypothesis combines real concepts from the provided papers (AdaEvolve's evolutionary LLM mutation operators and low-rank EMA approximations from "Taming Momentum"), it makes a speculative leap by assuming AdaEvolve maintains optimizer states amenable to low-rank compression — evolutiona...
google: The hypothesis conflates first-order gradient-based optimizer states (EMA
