SOAP: Improving and Stabilizing Shampoo using Adam There is growing evidence of the effectiveness of Shampoo, a higher-order preconditioning method, over Adam in deep learning optimization tasks. However, Shampoo's drawbacks include additional hyperpa...

I’ve been hearing through the grapevine that the new SOAP optimizer might be SOTA now. Has anyone given it a go and compared it to Adam?
