Hyperparameter tuning can dramatically affect coaching stability and closing efficiency of large-scale fashions. Current works on neural community parameterisations, comparable to μP, have enabled switch of optimum world hyperparameters throughout mannequin sizes. These works suggest an empirical observe of seek for optimum world base hyperparameters at a small mannequin dimension, and switch to a big dimension. We lengthen these works in two key methods. To deal with scaling alongside most necessary scaling axes, we suggest the Full(d) Parameterisation that unifies scaling in width and depth — utilizing an adaptation of CompleteP — in addition to in batch-size and coaching period. Secondly, with our parameterisation, we examine per-module hyperparameter optimisation and switch. We characterise the empirical challenges of navigating the high-dimensional hyperparameter panorama, and suggest sensible pointers for tackling this optimisation downside. We display that, with the appropriate parameterisation, hyperparameter switch holds even within the per-module hyperparameter regime. Our examine covers an in depth vary of optimisation hyperparameters of contemporary fashions: studying charges, AdamW parameters, weight decay, initialisation scales, and residual block multipliers. Our experiments display vital coaching pace enhancements in Massive Language Fashions with the transferred per-module hyperparameters.
