At a glance

Chinchilla showed how smaller models trained on more data can better use a fixed computing budget.

In one paragraph

Showed how to balance model size and training data to make better use of a fixed computing budget. Its Chinchilla model outperformed the much larger Gopher model using the same training compute, demonstrating the value of training smaller models on more data.
