  • Introduction of EGGROLL, an evolution strategies (ES) algorithm for large neural networks.
  • EGGROLL uses low-rank matrix perturbations to reduce computational and memory costs.
  • Theoretical analysis shows EGGROLL converges to full-rank updates at a fast rate.
  • Experiments demonstrate EGGROLL's performance in RL, LLM reasoning, and pre-training of recurrent language models.
