Scaling Laws for Neural Language Models
OpenAI published foundational research establishing empirical scaling laws for neural language models, showing that model performance scales predictably with compute, data, and parameters. The work demonstrated power-law relationships between these factors and loss, providing a principled framework for allocating training resources. This paper became a cornerstone of modern large language model development strategy.
