Exploring the Basin-Like Loss Landscape in Large Language Models

ICLR 2026poster

We discover the emergence of \textit{basins} in the loss landscape of large language models. As model scale increases, LLMs become progressively more resilient to random perturbations in the parameter space, giving rise to expansive stability regions where models exhibit nearly identical performance…
