GLADIUS v2.0 β€” Net2Net Progressive Expansion
Function-preserving model expansion. The bigger model starts with the
EXACT same outputs as the smaller one. Zero loss spike.
Theory (Chen et al., 2015 "Net2Net"):
- Net2WiderNet: Copy columns + divide weights to preserve output identity
- Net2DeeperNet: Initialize new layers as identity transforms
Extended for GLADIUS kernel components:
- Embedding expansion (zero-padded new dimensions)
- Attention head splitting/growth
- SwiGLU FFN widening
- Hot memory slot expansion
- Warm memory rank growth
- Time engine, cognition, modulator, tool cortex, router β€” all expanded
Usage:
