When researchers are building large language models (LLMs), they aim to maximize performance under a particular computational and financial budget. Since training a model can amount to millions of dollars, developers need to be judicious with cost-impacting decisions about, for instance, the model architecture, optimizers, and training datasets before committing to a model.When researchers are building large language models (LLMs), they aim to maximize performance under a particular computational and financial budget.

Everyone hates traffic. Big cities in particular are plagued by an overabundance of vehicles, turning a simple crosstown jaunt into an odyssey during rush hour. Part of the problem is that traffic is incredibly complex, and a small change in one part of the system can have ripple effects that alter traffic patterns throughout a city. City planners attempting to improve local traffic grids can often struggle to foresee all the effects their changes could have.Everyone hates traffic.
