Predictable Confabulations: Factual Recall by LLMs Scales with Model Size and Topic Frequency
Factual recall quality in LLMs follows a sigmoid scaling law in the log-linear combination of model parameter count and topic frequency in training data, explaining 60% of variance across models and up to 94% within families.
