Modern large language models (LLMs) require vast amounts of data, consuming trillions of tokens to achieve fluency, a stark contrast to children who master language with millions of words. This "data efficiency gap" is a significant challenge, as current methods of feeding models data in order or using video have not closed it. The immense data requirements also lead to high costs and raise concerns about the finite availability of quality training data in the future, suggesting a need for architectural changes rather than just scale.
