Research TL;DR
"Surveys emergent behaviors in LLMs. Identifies capabilities like arithmetic and translation that appear abruptly as training compute scales."
Abstract
We discuss emergent abilities of large language models, which are abilities that are not present in smaller models but are present in larger models. We analyze how emergence occurs across various tasks like multi-step math and reasoning.
