Kaplan et al. found that, as compute grows, model size should grow faster than training tokens. Hoffmann et al. ("Chinchilla") found that tokens per parameter should stay roughly fixed. Porian et al. investigate why. They reproduce the Kaplan-style result with… ## Also in our library 2 more works of theirs are in our library without a page here yet; they will appear as we publish them. ## Co-authors here 9 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Ludwig Schmidt](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ludwig-schmidt/) ×2 - [Mitchell Wortsman](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mitchell-wortsman/) ×2 - [Ali Farhadi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ali-farhadi/) - [Ari S.
