LLM systems for scientific discovery increasingly assist with ideation, literature synthesis, experiment planning, and report generation, but the first research question they propose can remain difficult to audit: it may sound plausible without exposing the mechanism, falsifier,…
The Muon optimizer reaches the grokking threshold on modular arithmetic faster than AdamW. Prior work attributes this to "spectral-norm constraints plus orthogonalized momentum" but does not isolate which mechanism matters. To better understand Moun's behavior, we run multi-seed…
