AI/ML Projects

Multiscale Muon¹

successful

Optimizer with multiple momentum buffers at different timescales. Inspired by further evidence from other groups of hierarchical structures like those initially explored in 'Hyperbolic Space' and multi-temporal memory in humans.

Associative Transformer¹

null

Attempted local learning rule where each transformer layer acts as its own momentum buffer, treating layers as compressions of past gradients. Though theoretically interesting, empirically failed to converge.

Hyperbolic Space

theory successful

Evidence that neural networks learn multiscale hierarchical structures, confirmed by statistical analysis of model weights showing possible multiscale structures in MLP matrices.

¹ Built on my own pretraining script I wrote from scratch, specialized for hackability and OOD research. ~reaches tps parity with llm.c
