Taking reasoning models as an example, a single rollout may produce a chain of thought spanning thousands of tokens, and the total token generation volume of 100 million rollouts can exceed the scale of pretraining corpora by an order of magnitude.

UnverifiedA widely adopted strong open-source model may consume several times more inference compute over its lifetime than was invested in its training phase.77% similarUnverifiedThe facts absorbed by large language models during the pre-training phase are encoded in a distributed manner across billions of parameters, with a single fact diffused across the activation patterns of hundreds or even thousands of neurons74% similarVerifiedThe internal chain of thought in reasoning models generates a large number of output tokens, making the actual cost of completing complex tasks often far higher than what a per-token price comparison would suggest.74% similarUnverifiedIf the proportion of padding tokens in the training data is too high, the model will tend to predict this high-frequency symbol.74% similarUnverifiedParametric memory is knowledge solidified into model weights during the training phase, encoded across billions or even trillions of parameters.74% similar
