The threshold for performance in language models like transformers may be reached once the right questions are asked by the querying system. However, benchmarks need to capture the unpredictability and edge cases of the real world, which current benchmarks like ImageNet lack.

Transformer models
Summary

Transformer models require the right questions to be asked to get accurate answers, which can make performance appear random until the correct questions are asked. The threshold or phase shift scale is affected by the benchmark scale and the engineering benchmarks to scale models may have a low threshold.
