This model validates that an autoregressive foundation model can continuously adapt to streaming data without experiencing representational drift or catastrophic forgetting on silicon. In Loss of plasticity in deep continual learning (Nature, 2024), Dohare, Hernandez-Garcia, Lan, Rahman, Mahmood, and Sutton demonstrated that standard gradient-based optimization…
