Emergent Behavior in Language Models: Scaling, Prediction, and Optimization
By
–
6. Studying emergent behavior in language models. – How/why does scaling unlock emergence?
– Can we predict future emergent capabilities?
– How do we get these abilities in smaller models? -
Understanding How Language Models and Prompting Work
By
–
5. Why language models / prompting works. We still don’t have a great understanding of how in-context learning works, or why chain-of-thought/reasoning works. We can learn a great deal by only looking at inputs and outputs (as do we do with humans in psychology).

Building Evaluations for Frontier Language Models
By
–
2. Building evaluations. Many benchmarks get quickly saturated, and we need more to evaluate the frontier of language models. In addition, it’s still an open question of how to evaluate language models generally. The new OpenAI evals library could be good: https://
