Hey thanks for sharing this. Was curious did you find the more you trained the model the more perf improved, or did it start plateauing. For example, let's say you didn't spend 67 cents, but you spent 67 dollars do you think you would get major benefits from that?

Yeah I've reached much higher perf but

- it feels logarithmic (like most perf-compute graphs), and eventually plateaus. 44% @ 67 cents was a good stopping point for me

- more compute would require a lot of effort and dealing with new problems like training stability, cost of iterations/sweeps (didnt have the money to convincingly run larger iterations)
