Evaluating large language models (LLMs) is crucial as LLM-based systems become increasingly powerful and relevant in our society. Rigorous testing allows us to understand an LLMs capabilities, limitations, and potential biases, and provide actionable feedback to identify and mitigate risk. Furthermore, evaluation processes are important not only for LLMs, but are becoming essential for assessing prompt template quality, input data quality, and ultimately, the entire application stack.

Scaling the capacity of language models has consistently proven to be a reliable approach for improving performance and unlocking new capabilities. Capacity can be primarily defined by two dimensions: the number of model parameters and the compute per example. While scaling typically involves increasing both, the precise interplay between these factors and their combined contribution to overall capacity remains not fully understood.
