When Muon Meets Task Interference: A Spectral Perspective on Continual Learning and Model Merging
arXiv:2608.27518v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continual learning (CL) and model merging (MM) both aim to obtain a single model that performs well across multiple tasks, challenged respectively by catastrophic forgetting and weight-disentanglement error. In the literature, these difficulties are merely treated separately and mitigated through a variety of solutions, while the geometry induced by the base optimizer is treated as an implementation detail. In this work, we show that the two diffic

Reassessing Muon for Matrix Factorization
A new arXiv paper critically reassesses the optimizer Muon by testing it on low-rank matrix factorization—a controlled, spectrally structured problem—finding its reported advantages over AdamW are inconsistent and highly sensitive to hyperparameters, challenging assumptions about its inherent superiority.
