VerifiedEmergent ability refers to the phenomenon whereby, once a model's parameter scale surpasses a certain critical threshold, complex capabilities beyond the training objective—such as logical reasoning, code generation, and cross-language transfer—suddenly emerge.72% similarUnverifiedBehavioral drift refers to changes in the model's output distribution on tasks it had already mastered or on irrelevant prompts after injecting new knowledge, and is typically measured using retained general-purpose prompts.72% similarUnverifiedSo-called 'emergent' behavior refers to the phenomenon in which such behavior of large language models is not explicitly programmed but naturally appears once scale and data volume reach a certain level.69% similarVerifiedWhen a model's parameter count surpasses a certain critical threshold, capabilities such as reasoning and debugging that are not seen in smaller models emerge, a phenomenon known as Emergent Abilities.68% similarUnverifiedEmergence is a core concept in complex systems science, referring to properties or behaviors exhibited at the level of the system as a whole that cannot be predicted or reduced through analysis of individual components.67% similar
