SOLAR: A State-Driven Online Learning Rate Scheduler for LLM Pretraining

Learning-rate (LR) scheduling plays a central role in large language model (LLM) pretraining, yet current practice still relies heavily on hand-crafted heuristics such as Warmup-Cosine-Decay and Warmup-Stable-Decay. Because these schedules are fixed in advance, they cannot adapt to evolving optimization dynamics. Onlin...
