Title: AdaFRUGAL: Adaptive Memory-Efficient Training with Dynamic Control
Abstract:
arXiv:2601.11568v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training Large Language Models (LLMs) is highly memory-intensive due to optimizer state overhead. The FRUGAL framework mitigates this with gradient splitting, but its static hyperparameters -- the subspace ratio ($\rho$) and update frequency ($T$) -- require costly manual tuning, limiting adaptability. We present AdaFRUGAL, which automates this process by introducing two dynamic controls: (i) a linear decay for $\rho$ to progressively red
