Pineau: Compute and Data Scale AI Linearly, While Algorithms Cause Step-Functions
“Compute and data have a more linear effect on progress. You build more compute. You run bigger models. You can typically get better performance. You feed in more data. It's not just quantity. You need to worry about quality and diversity as well, but roughly i…”
