αTransfer: העברת מקדמים למיזוג מודלים יעיל

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.07819v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model merging offers a promising solution for combining multiple fine-tuned checkpoints into a single model through parameter arithmetic. However, finding optimal merging coefficients requires an extensive search that becomes prohibitively expensive as models scale in both size and number, due to high memory requirements and combinatorial growth in the search space. We show that, within the same model family, models exhibit highly congruent performance distributions over merging coefficients across different model sizes. This distributional similarity enables a practical paradigm we call \textit{$\alpha$Transfer}: searching for optimal coefficients on a small proxy model, then directly transfer them to larger target models. We verify $\alph
