In short: In machine learning, a neural scaling law is an empirical scaling law that describes how neural network performance changes as key factors are scaled up or down.

Evidence class: Emerging research.

A neural scaling law is a theoretical or empirical statistical law between these parameters.

What would need to be true? • Scaling inference through increased test-time compute (TTC) to extend laws beyond training.

What could prevent it? • The inherent diminishing returns nature of many scaling laws.
