arXiv:2602. 03685v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training large language models (LLMs) is computationally expensive, partly because the loss exhibits slow power-law convergence whose origin remains debatable.

arXiv:2606. 25008v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural scaling laws describe how pre-training loss decays as power laws with training time, model size, and compute.

arXiv:2606. 29158v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning-rate transfer can reduce the cost of training large language models: instead of sweeping learning rates at target scale, practitioners extrapolate from smaller runs.

arXiv:2512. 22088v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The scaling law, a cornerstone of Large Language Model (LLM) development, predicts improvements in model performance with increasing computational resources.

arXiv:2606. 07616v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scaling laws provide a fundamental framework for understanding the performance of Language Models (LMs), yet deriving them requires prohibitively expensive evaluations across thousands of checkpoints or millions of inference samples.

arXiv:2602. 02712v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A popular approach to post-training control of large language models (LLMs) is the steering of intermediate latent representations.

arXiv:2607. 11052v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning progress is often attributed to scaling model size and dataset volume, yet the composition of data can be just as consequential.
By Kimia Hamidieh, Lester Mackey, David Alvarez-Melis
arXiv:2606. 06888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Classical scaling laws for language model pretraining balance model size against training dataset size under a fixed compute budget, assuming abundant data and a single pass over the corpus.

arXiv:2607. 14306v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we study the connection between an LLM's output distribution and the data used to train it.

arXiv:2606. 06238v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a statistical-field framework for text generated by large language models (LLMs), treating token embeddings as continuous spin variables on a one-dimensional chain.

arXiv:2606. 24504v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We discuss reasons why the scaling exponents of current Large Language Models (LLMs) applications are indicating an unsustainable regime in terms of energy resources.
