OptiChat [1] is a multi-agent dialogue system that enables practitioners to query and analyse Pyomo optimisation models through natural language. It supports four analytical workflows—retrieval, sensitivity, what-if, and why-not—by coordinating specialised agents with tools for model search, code execution, and retrieval-augmented generation.

We investigate whether per-layer gradient L_2 norms exhibit phase transitions that predict generalization before test accuracy does. Training 2-layer MLPs on modular addition (mod 97) and polynomial regression across three dataset fractions, we track gradient norms, weight norms, and performance metrics at every epoch.
