Why Adam Needs Weight Decay Pulled Apart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
L2 regularization and weight decay look like the same penalty on paper. Inside Adam they are not. Adaptive second-moment scaling changes how hard the decay actually hits each weight, so the "same" L2 term no longer means the same thing as a true decoupled decay. AdamW pulls the decay off the gradient and applies it after the adaptive step. That is the Loshchilov & Hutter 2017 fix: keep Adam's moments, then shrink the weights by a fixed factor. PyTorch's AdamW and the fast.ai super-convergence re
