Evaluating Modeling Approaches for LLM Learning Curves
Critique the exclusive use of simple, monotonically decreasing functions for modeling the performance of Large Language Models as they scale. In your response, identify at least one significant limitation of this approach and explain why exploring more diverse and complex mathematical functions is a necessary step for researchers in the field.

Power Law Formulation for LLM Loss
A research team observes the performance of a new model as they increase the amount of training data. They plot the test error and notice a distinct pattern: the error first decreases, then temporarily increases, before starting to decrease again. When attempting to create a mathematical formula to predict this error curve, which approach would be most appropriate?
