""" Muon + AdamW Hybrid Optimizer for Flint-1.2B ============================================= Implements the Muon optimizer (arxiv:2502.16982, Moonlight) for weight matrices combined with AdamW for non-matrix parameters (embeddings, norms). Muon uses Newton-Schulz orthogonalization of the momentum to provide ~2x sample efficiency over AdamW, at ~5% compute overhead. The Newton-Schulz iterations are pure matmul — they run at 100% MXU utilization on TPU v5e, making this especially efficient on TPU hardware.
