Parameter scaling ROI drops; RL and iteration become key
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-08-19
Analysis suggests the 0731 model matches or beats GLM-5 with 3x fewer parameters, indicating diminishing returns for massive scaling. We may be at a phase transition point where dedicating compute to RL pipelines and midtraining offers better ROI than brute-force parameter expansion.
