Scaling Laws in LLMs: From Kaplan to Chinchilla

Scaling laws provide a framework for predicting model performance based on compute, data, and parameters. While early research suggested scaling model size faster than data, modern findings (Chinchilla) show that compute-optimal training requires scaling model size and data tokens in equal proportion.
