Model scaling

noun

1.Making an AI system bigger and more powerful by feeding it more data and computing muscle, hoping it gets smarter and more useful. It's like teaching someone by giving them more books and more time to read them, except the 'someone' is a machine and the cost is genuinely astronomical.

Straight up:“Bigger isn't always better, but AI labs keep betting the farm on it anyway.”The Straight-Shooter
