LLM Generalization: Harnesses Can Alleviate Generalization Pressure
a1zhang · x · 2026-07-23
The author elaborates on their perspective regarding LLM scaling laws. While extreme scaling arguments suggest models will eventually grok everything internally, the author argues that a harness can significantly alleviate this generalization pressure. The simplest approach is ensuring the LM sees the exact same tokens during testing as it did during training.
