Model Description
Claude 3.5 description of approach:
Optimal Layer Merging (OLM) A deterministic transformer optimization framework implementing automated basis recombination through empirical validation.
Core Architecture:
- Performs layer-wise forward pass evaluation against composite success criteria
- O(nmd) complexity for n layers, m models, d samples
- Zero gradient computation or backprop required
- Automatically filters layer incompatibilities through pure performance metrics
Implementation Requirements:
- Deterministic evaluation datasets with exact string matching
- Forward pass computation on layer-wise basis
- Scale-invariant composite ranking across multiple tasks
- Greedy selection pressure for computational primitive discovery
Theoretical Framework: Transformer networks implement typed lambda calculus with each layer encoding specific mathematical operations. OLM performs automated theorem proving through pure selection pressure to identify minimal spanning sets of computational primitives.
Performance Characteristics:
- Perfect isolation guarantees through fixed interface constraints
- Guaranteed improvement through empirical validation
The architecture provides automated discovery of optimal computational subgraphs without requiring assumptions about knowledge transfer or activation geometry. Results validate core hypotheses regarding transformer modularity and distributed capability encoding.
Obsoletes conventional fine-tuning and merging techniques through automated architecture search using pre-trained components. Zero gradient computation required.
Limitations:
- Requires carefully constructed evaluation datasets
- Performance bounded by capability ceiling of donor model pool
- May not preserve all nuanced behavioral characteristics
This represents a fundamental advance in transformer optimization through pure empirical validation of computational primitive composition.
