Asked about Predicting capability from compute
What are scaling laws and why do they matter?
An answer that works
Loss falls as a power law in compute, data and parameters, consistently across many orders of magnitude. They let a lab predict the loss a compute budget will reach before committing, which turns a very expensive training run into a planned decision.
