Pretraining and alignment induce asymmetric geometric traces in transformer weights because alignment updates concentrate in read pathways due to activation covariance while write pathways inherit less structure from alignment losses.

Energy-navigated trajectory shaping during training produces 8-step discrete flow matching students that achieve 32% lower perplexity than 1024-step teachers on 170M language models with unchanged inference cost.
Jordan-RoPE realizes a distance-modulated phase basis via non-semisimple Jordan blocks, generating features such as d e^{iωd} for relative positional encoding.
Absorbing discrete diffusion models the conditional distributions of clean data; reparameterizing yields a time-independent RADD that unifies with AO-ARMs and reaches SOTA perplexity among diffusion models on zero-shot language benchmarks.
LoRA adapters should be scaled by 1/sqrt(rank) rather than 1/rank to stabilize learning and enable effective use of higher ranks during fine-tuning of large language models.
The standard Transformer block arises as a first-order approximation to a polar state estimator on the hypersphere, with a Polar Transformer retaining higher-order terms.
An attack aligns differently shuffled intermediate activations from secure Transformer inference queries to recover model weights with low error using roughly one dollar of queries.
Perturbing prefixes to semantic neighbors during training creates a hierarchical noise model that improves language model predictions on token sequences outside the training corpus support.
A music-to-poetry-to-prose pre-training ladder improves small language model perplexity by 17.5% with faster convergence and lower plateau loss.
GRASPrune removes 50% of parameters from LLaMA-2-7B via global gating and projected straight-through estimation, reaching 12.18 WikiText-2 perplexity and competitive zero-shot accuracy after four epochs on 512 calibration sequences.
SMF adds KV memory layers and sparsely updates only heavily-read rows, yielding +2.5pp on MedMCQA with near-zero drift on WikiText and TriviaQA probes versus larger gains but clear forgetting from LoRA and full finetuning.
Constraining fine-tuning updates with LoRA mitigates performance degradation when switching from Adam to Muon on pretrained models.
