DP-Muon adapts matrix-orthogonalized momentum optimization to differential privacy via per-matrix clipping and noise addition, with proofs of inherited privacy and optimization guarantees plus a bias-corrected version that improves private fine-tuning utility.
On power-law covariance least squares problems, SignSVD (Muon) and SignSGD (Adam proxy) show three phases of relative performance depending on data exponent α and target exponent β.
Muon achieves dimension-free saddle-point escape through non-linear spectral shaping, resolvent calculus, and structural incoherence, yielding an algebraically dimension-free escape bound.
