Emergence
The phenomenon where large models suddenly develop new capabilities not present in smaller models.
In more detail
Emergent abilities appear at certain scale thresholds without explicit training. Examples: in-context learning in GPT-3, chain-of-thought reasoning in larger models. Poorly understood but important for AI capabilities.
Examples
- In-context learning appearing at 100B+ parameters
- Complex reasoning emerging in larger LLMs
- Multimodal capabilities in vision-language models
