Scaling a Diversified Model Civilization

We post-trained populations of models to develop complementary capabilities. This extends scaling beyond a single model: we can train more models, not just bigger ones.

2× the models trained
≈ 2.02× the parameters in one model

Proportional loss reduction: our evaluation loss versus Chinchilla’s reducible language-model loss, which also requires 2.35× the training data.

Evaluation loss falls as the trained population grows from one to sixteen models, alongside a projected Chinchilla reference.
Measured population scaling, with a Chinchilla projection normalized at one model.
