Multiple Approaches to Enhance LLM Training Stability
While architectural changes are a common strategy for improving the training of Large Language Models, they are not the only method available. Training stability can be enhanced through a variety of other techniques, demonstrating that there are multiple pathways to achieving a stable training process.

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.

A research team is training a very large language model using a standard, well-established architecture. During the process, they observe that the model's loss value periodically spikes to extreme levels, causing the training to fail. The team has confirmed that the model's fundamental design is not the source of the problem. What is the most effective area for the team to investigate next to resolve this instability?
