Parameter

파라미터

Also known as: weights

The numbers a model learns. Their count is what people call model size.

Parameters are the weights of a neural network. Sizes are quoted as counts: seven billion, seventy billion.

Bigger is usually better, but not always. A smaller model tuned on domain data often wins, and it is faster and cheaper.

Do not confuse them with settings. Parameters are learned; the values a person sets are hyperparameters.

  • Notation7B means seven billion.
