We can train models that achieve superhuman performance, yet the fundamental reasons for their generalization, especially in the face of extreme overparameterization, remain elusive, forcing us to rely on empirical risk minimization and the hope that it won&rsquo;t spectacularly fail. This gap is precisely what Elon Litman&rsquo;s recent work seeks to bridge, proposing a radical shift in how we analyze and understand neural networks.</p>
