Stateless LLM Training: A Memory Breakthrough

Stateless LLM Training: A Memory Breakthrough

Efficient LLM training without optimizer states

This research introduces Gradient Multi-Normalization, a novel framework for training large language models without storing optimizer states, dramatically reducing memory requirements while maintaining performance.

  • Eliminates memory overhead of traditional adaptive optimizers like Adam
  • Achieves comparable or better performance through multi-normalization of gradients
  • Enables more efficient scaling of LLM training with reduced computational resources
  • Provides a stateless optimization approach that's particularly valuable for resource-constrained environments

This engineering advancement allows organizations to train larger models with existing infrastructure or reduce costs for current model sizes, potentially democratizing access to LLM development capabilities.
