New research quantifies hyperparameter transfer in LLM training

A new research paper explores hyperparameter transfer, a technique crucial for efficiently training large language models. The study introduces a framework with three metrics to quantify this transfer and investigates why certain parameterizations, like Maximal Update ($\mu$P), outperform standard methods. Researchers found that a key factor in $\mu$P's success is its higher embedding layer learning rate, which stabilizes training and improves hyperparameter transfer compared to standard parameterization.

    Quantifying Hyperparameter Transfer and the Importance of Embedding Layer Learning Rate

    arXiv:2605.21486v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hyperparameter transfer allows extrapolating optimal optimization hyperparameters from small to large scales, making it critical for training large language models (LLMs). This is done either by fitting a scaling law to the hyperp…
