The Muon optimizer incurs a significant overhead cost due to its cubic-time Newton-Schulz orthogonalization step. When weights are sharded, communication overhead compounds this computational cost, eroding the benefits of Muon in many settings. We present Dion3, a revision of Muon that targets this overhead at every level of the stack. Our Gram Newton-Schulz algorithm reduces the FLOP cost of orthogonalization, our CuteDSL kernels accelerate it by exploiting symmetry, and our megabatching strategy reduces communication overhead. Moreover, we propose a simple change to the update rule that cuts costs even further: selecting only a fraction of the momentum matrix's rows to orthogonalize at each step. This update rule improves on Dion (another "compressed" version of Muon), in both speed and performance. Overall, Dion3 matches or improves on the loss achieved by Muon but reduces optimizer step time by up to 6x. Dion3 is available via the dion package (https://github.com/microsoft/dion) as a drop-in replacement for Muon.
View sourceVision-Language-Action (VLA) models can generalize across diverse manipulation tasks, but their imitation-learning-based policies remain brittle in precise physical interactions due to compounding execution errors; Can a reinforcement learning policy trained purely in simulation improve the robustness of real-world VLAs zero-shot? Residual RL, which learns a corrective policy on top of a frozen VLA, offers a natural framework, but existing approaches face a fundamental sim-to-real dilemma: privileged-state methods require lossy distillation for deployment; image-based methods suffer from the visual domain gap; and real-world RL is costly and unsafe. We propose an object-centric residual RL framework that refines VLA actions using object poses, enabling a compact observation space that transfers consistently between simulation and reality. To align the two domains, we additionally replay the same teleoperation demonstrations in simulation to train a sim counterpart of the real-world VLA. The residual RL policy is trained only in simulation with pose noise injection and dropout, and transfers zero-shot to the real robot. Across five manipulation tasks on a real Franka Research 3 (FR3) robot, our method improves the success rate from 42% to 76% zero-shot, and the improved rollouts can be further reused to retrain the base VLA for self-improvement without additional teleoperation.
