google: Falsifiable and relevant papers support the potential for memory efficiency gains. However, the connection between low-rank approximations and *improved* evolutionary algorithm performance (beyond just memory savings) needs stronger justification.
openai: It’s loosely falsifiable (measure memory/quality tradeoffs in LLM-driven evolutionary program search), and low-rank optimizer-state compression is supported by FlashOptim/Taming Momentum—but those results are for gradient-based training, not EA “optimizer states,” so the key transfer assumption i...
anthropic: The hypothesis awkwardly conflates two largely separate research threads — low-rank optimizer state compression (Taming Momentum, FlashOptim) applies to *training* LLMs, not to the evolutionary search loop in LLM-driven program generation (AdaEvolve), where the LLM is typically used frozen as a m...
