**TLDR:** An optimization approach that seeks not only low loss but also flatter and more generalizable solution regions.

<p>Sharpness-Aware Minimization tries to prevent the model from settling into very sharp minima and instead seeks more robust solutions. The core idea is to examine how sensitive the loss is to small perturbations around the parameters. It is motivated by observations that flatter minima are often associated with better generalization. This approach directly targets the connection between optimization and generalization.</p>
