Learn-by-Wire Training Control Governance: Bounded Autonomous Training Under Stress for Stability and Efficiency
The paper introduces Learn-by-Wire Guard (LBW-Guard), a new training-control governance layer for language models. LBW-Guard aims to enhance stability and efficiency during training under stress conditions without replacing existing optimizers. The results demonstrate significant improvements in perplexity and training speed compared to traditional methods.
- ▪LBW-Guard operates above the AdamW optimizer to manage training instability.
- ▪In tests, LBW-Guard reduced final perplexity from 13.21 to 10.74, an 18.7% improvement.
- ▪Under learning-rate stress, LBW-Guard maintained trainability while traditional methods degraded significantly.

This paper introduces Learn-by-Wire Guard (LBW-Guard), a bounded autonomous training-control governance layer that operates above AdamW.
