arXiv:2610.03432v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Online data selection has demonstrated substantial efficiency gains for LLM pretraining by training on the most valuable candidates within each batch. Since a candidate's value is realized through its effective model update, principled selection should account for the optimizer step, which reshapes the raw gradient before it updates model parameters. We formalize this optimizer-aware selection paradigm as OptiSelect and present the first systematic study of how the optimizer shapes data selection. Our theory establishes a selection gain princip
