I wish that Y-axes would switch to be logit instead of linear, to help see power-law scaling on these 0-&amp;gt;1 measures. In this case, 20% -&amp;gt; 80% it doesn&amp;#x27;t really matter, but for other papers (eg. [2] below) it would help see this powerlaw behavior much better. 2. The power law behavior of inference compute seems to be showing up now in multiple ways. Both in ensembles [1,2], as well as in o1 now. If this is purely on decoding self-reflection tokens, this has a &amp;quot;limit&amp;quot; to its scaling in a way, only as long as the context length. I think this implies (and I am…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2402.05120/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

In more agents is all you need [1], they start to see this as a function of ensemble size. It also shows up in: Large Language Monkeys: Scaling Inference Compute with Repeated Sampling [2] I sorta wish everyone would plot their y-axis with logit y-axis, rather than 0-&amp;gt;100 accuracy (including the openai post), to help show the power-law behavior. This is especially important when talking about incremental gains in the ~90-&amp;gt;95, 95-&amp;gt;99%. When the values (like the open ai post) are between 20-&amp;gt;80, logit and linear…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2402.05120/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

This article links to the paper about it - https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.05120 - but I&amp;#x27;ve not heard from anyone who&amp;#x27;s implementing production systems successfully in that way. (I still don&amp;#x27;t actually know what an &amp;quot;agent&amp;quot; is, to be honest.

Sonnet and Haiku are absolute achievements for the speed/cost though. I recently read research that demonstrated that having multiple AIs answer a question then treating their answers as votes to select the correct answer significantly improves question answering performance (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.05120.pdf), and while this approach isn&amp;#x27;t really cost effective or fast enough in most cases, I think with Claud 3 Haiku it might just work, as you can have it answer a question 10 times for the cost of a single…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2402.05120/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
