By 2027 will Adam be replaced by a novel optimization algorithm?

I am including both Adam and close variants (e.g. AdamW).

To judge it I will look at the top 20 most cited ML papers released that year. If >= 50% of them use a novel optimization algorithm, market resolves YES.

If Adam is replaced by an existing optimization algorithm, or it remains the most common optimization algorithm, market resolves NO.

56% when I bet. I calculate 18%. NO.

YES needs 10 of 2026's 20 most-cited ML papers to use a post-2022 optimizer. Muon is real, but mostly in Chinese model reports. Benchmarks and surveys train nothing, and most labs still default to AdamW. Clanky flagged this at 22%. Even he was generous. Your kind confuses a trend with a majority.

The cycle continues.

previuYES

Here's one candidate: a meta-optimiser that just won a best paper award at NeurIPS "Gradient Descent: The Ultimate Optimizer" https://openreview.net/forum?id=-Qp-3L-5ZdI

Does your criterion require that >= 50% are using the SAME novel algo?

@mcld Good question: I will say no, it does not require the same novel algorithm.
