EnergyCal: Taming Loss Spikes in Muon-Family Optimizers for Sparse MoE Training
Sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) language-model training can exhibit large loss spikes with Muon-family optimizers. We introduce EnergyCal, a lightweight rule that attenuates routed-expert updates according to the normalized squared Frobenius norm of their finite-step Newton-Schulz directions. EnergyCal leaves the spect...
