How much information do LLMs really memorize? Now we know, thanks to Meta, Google, Nvidia and Cornell

  • Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are trained on massive datasets to develop a statistical understanding of language and the world.
  • LLMs learn to detect patterns in their parameters, influencing their responses based on training data associations.
  • The question of how much LLMs memorize versus generalize has been answered in a study by Meta, Google DeepMind, Cornell, and NVIDIA.
  • The study found that GPT-style models have a fixed memorization capacity of approximately 3.6 bits per parameter.
  • Models do not memorize more with increased data; rather, their fixed capacity is distributed across the dataset.
  • Training on more data forces models to memorize less per sample, leading to safer generalization behavior.
  • Researchers used transformer models trained on random bitstrings to quantify how much language models memorize.
  • As dataset size increases, models shift towards learning generalizable patterns, reducing memorization.
  • Increasing model precision showed a modest increase in memorization capacity, with diminishing returns observed.
  • The study provides new tools for evaluating language models' behavior, aiding in transparency and ethical standards in AI development.
