Self-Improving is Often Sudden: Enlightenment-style Finetuning for Large-Scale Models

The pursuit of autonomously self-improving models has attracted growing interest in the era of large-scale foundation models. Drawing inspiration from the concept of "enlightenment" or "aha moment" in human brain, we hypothesize that large models exhibit an analogous enlightenment phenomenon-a latent capacity for sudden capability boost. Then, we propose Enlightenment, a novel training-free post-tuning paradigm for large-scale models. Our approach modifies shortcuts for key modules/layers…
