Learning Rate and Training Time Trade-off in LLMs
Achieving stable training for large models with gradient descent often requires selecting a small learning rate. This choice introduces a critical trade-off: while a smaller learning rate helps prevent training instability, it significantly increases the overall training time.

A research team successfully trains a 1-billion-parameter language model. Encouraged by their results, they scale up the exact same architecture and training setup to a 100-billion-parameter version using a much larger dataset. Midway through the training process, the model's loss value suddenly becomes
NaN(Not a Number), and the training crashes. This happens repeatedly despite restarting from previous checkpoints. Which of the following best explains this phenomenon?A machine learning team is training a very large language model and encounters several issues. Match each observed issue with the most likely underlying factor related to training stability.

Learn After
An engineer is training a very large neural network for a natural language task. They observe that the training process is highly unstable, with the loss function values fluctuating wildly and sometimes becoming infinitely large, causing the training to crash. The project has a strict deadline and a fixed computational budget. Which of the following adjustments is the most logical first step to stabilize the training process, even though it introduces a significant trade-off?
