Limits of LLM scaling based on human-generated data](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/villalobos-2022-will-run-out-data-limits/)** *(2022 · 198 citations)* Scaling laws push LLM developers toward ever-larger training sets, which raises the question of whether public human-written text will eventually run out. 2. **[FrontierMath: A Benchmark for Evaluating Advanced Mathematical Reasoning in AI](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/glazer-2024-frontiermath-benchmark-evaluating-advanced-mathematical/)** *(2024 · 97 citations)* Popular math benchmarks such as MATH and GSM8K mostly test high-school or early-undergraduate skills, and leading models now score near the ceiling on them. 3. **[Chinchilla Scaling: A replication attempt](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/besiroglu-2024-chinchilla-scaling-replication-attempt/)** *(2024 · 18 citations)* Hoffmann et al. (2022), the Chinchilla paper, estimated compute-optimal scaling for language models in three ways. The third, Approach 3, fits a parametric loss L(N, D) = E + A/N^α + B/D^β, where N is parameter count and D is training tokens. Epoch AI researchers checked whether this fit holds up.
