    A fine-tuned 3B model outperformed a 70B baseline in production. This isn't an edge case—it's a pattern. Phi-4 beats GPT-4o on math. Llama 3.2 runs on smartphones. Inference costs dropped 1000x since 2021. The shift: careful data curation and architectural efficiency now substitute for raw scale. For most production workloads, a properly trained small model delivers equivalent results at a fraction of the cost.

  • The Physics Simulation Problem That More Compute Can’t Fix

    The Physics Simulation Problem That More Compute Can’t Fix
    Jan 25 2026
    This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/the-physics-simulation-problem-that-more-compute-cant-fix. This is a Plain English Papers summary of a research paper called Multiscale Corrections by Continuous Super-Resolution. If you like these kinds of analysis, join AIModels.fyi or follow us on Twitter. The curse of resolution in physics simulations Imagine watching water flow through sand at two different zoom levels. At low zoom, you see the overall current pushing through the domain. At high zoom, individual sand grains create turbulence and complex flow patterns that wouldn't be visible from far away. To capture both, you need the high-zoom video, which takes forever to compute. Yet you can't simply use the low-zoom version because those tiny grain-scale interactions fundamentally change how the bulk flow behaves. This is the core tension in finite element methods, the standard tool scientists use to approximate solutions to the differential equations governing physical systems. In these methods, computational cost scales brutally with resolution. Double your resolution in two dimensions and you create 16 times more elements. In three dimensions, that's 64 times more. This isn't a problem you solve by throwing more compute at it indefinitely. High-resolution simulations are accurate but prohibitively expensive. Coarse simulations are fast but miss crucial small-scale details that ripple through the big picture. The multiscale structures in physics aren't incidental; they're fundamental. Small-scale heterogeneity in materials, turbulent fluctuations in fluids, grain-boundary effects in crystals, all these phenomena affect macroscopic behavior in ways that can't simply be averaged away. Yet capturing them requires the computational horsepower of a high-resolution simulation, creating a genuine impasse between speed and accuracy. Why traditional multiscale methods don't quite solve it Researchers have known for decades that you need something smarter than brute-force high-resolution simulation. The traditional approach looks like dividing a puzzle into pieces. You solve the problem at a coarse scale, figure out how that coarse solution influences the fine scale, then solve the fine-scale problem in each region, coupling the results back together. Mathematically, this works. Computationally, it's more involved than it sounds. Methods like homogenization and multiscale finite element methods are mathematically rigorous and can provide guarantees about their approximations. But they require solving auxiliary problems, like the "cell problems" in homogenization theory, to understand how fine scales feed back into coarse scales. For complex materials or irregular geometries, these auxiliary problems can be nearly as expensive as the original simulation. You're trading one hard problem for several smaller hard problems, which is an improvement but not revolutionary. The core limitation is that multiscale methods still require explicit computation of fine-scale corrections. You don't truly escape the resolution curse; you just distribute the work differently. For time-dependent problems or when you need to run many similar simulations, this overhead becomes prohibitive. Super-resolution as learned multiscale correction What if you bypassed mathematical derivation entirely and instead let a neural network learn the relationship between coarse and fine scales from examples? You run many simulations at both coarse and fine resolution, showing the network thousands of pairs, and ask it to learn the underlying pattern. Then, for new problems, you run only the cheap coarse simulation and let the network fill in the fine details. This reframes the multiscale problem fundamentally. Instead of asking "how do I mathematically derive the fine-scale correction from the coarse solution," you ask "what statistical relationship exists between coarse-resolution snapshots of physics and fine-resolution snapshots?" Train a network to learn that relationship, and it becomes a reusable tool. The brilliant insight is that you don't need to hand-derive the multiscale coupling. You're leveraging an assumption about the physical world: that small-scale structures follow patterns that are learnable and repeatable across different scenarios. If those patterns truly reflect the underlying physics, the network should generalize beyond its training distribution. It should work on upsampling factors it never saw, on material properties it never explicitly trained on. Continuous super-resolution bridges coarse and fine scales. The orange region shows in-distribution scenarios (upsampling factors up to 16x), while the blue region shows out-of-distribution tests where the method extrapolates to 32x and beyond. This is where the paper departs from typical deep learning applications. It's not just applying image super-resolution to scientific data. It's asking whether neural networks can learn and extrapolate ...
