arXiv 2608.07222 argues existing scaling laws systematically under- and overestimate loss at both data-scarce and overtraining extremes because they treat capacity and data as independent. One coupling exponent fixes it, cutting mean absolute percentage error 1.5–3x across interpolation and extrapolation. Paired with a sparse grid strategy, it achieves full-grid extrapolation at roughly 10x less compute than uniform sweeps. Reliable performance prediction before committing training budget is worth more than the accuracy gain.
