Researchers have found that repeating smaller datasets during AI model training can significantly speed up the learning process. This phenomenon, termed the "small-vs-large gap," offers compute savings compared to using larger datasets and is not fully explained by existing theories. The study suggests that this speedup is due to layer-wise growth facilitated by sampling biases, which are more effective with smaller datasets, offering a proactive optimization strategy, especially for reasoning tasks.
