Compare data and model size under a compute budget

The researchers compare configurations to study compute-efficient training. This is a statement about their experimental setting, not a universal instruction to copy a fixed ratio for every dataset, architecture, or application.

Serving cost is a different objective

Training efficiency and inference cost are different objectives. An original deployment decision should also include memory, latency, and workload volume after the model is trained.

THE TAKEAWAY

What to remember

Evaluate serving cost separately.
