Pretraining

TLDR (English)

The Moonlight engineering report: adds weight decay to Muon and rescales updates by matrix shape (0.2*sqrt(max(m,n))) so learning rates transfer from AdamW recipes. Validates Muon at production scale on a 16B MoE trained on 5.7T tokens with roughly 2x the token efficiency of AdamW, proving Muon can move from speedrun tracks to real pretraining.

TLDR(中文)

Moonlight 工程报告:给 Muon 补上权重衰减并按矩阵维度做 RMS 匹配(乘 0.2*sqrt(max(m,n))),使其学习率可与 AdamW 配方复用。在 16B MoE、5.7T tokens 的真实规模上验证 Muon 稳定且达到约 2 倍于 AdamW 的 token 效率,证明 Muon 可以从速通赛道走向生产预训练。
