Local proxies for memory-efficient training

arXiv:2610.23145v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Local learning algorithms can reshape resource requirements of artificial intelligence. The memory bottleneck of standard end-to-end backpropagation lies in the need to store all network activations until the loss gradient has been propagated back through. Local learning avoids this, but typically at a cost in accuracy. We study how to achieve accurate and memory efficient local learning in transformers. For each transformer block, we train a local proxy network to predict the global network output via distillation. Gradients can be independent
