What is the minimum data size needed to train a model that understands human languages??
user
The minimum data size needed to train a model that understands human languages depends on many factors, such as the complexity of the language, the size and complexity of the model architecture, the specific task the model is being trained for, and the quality of the data being used.

In general, natural language processing models require large amounts of data to be effective. For example, large pre-trained language models such as GPT-3 by OpenAI were trained on up to hundreds of billions of words of text. However, smaller models can be effective for simpler tasks or for specific domains.

It's worth noting that the quality of the data is also important, as the model will learn from the patterns and structure present in the data. Low-quality or biased data can lead to poor model performance or perpetuate harmful biases. Therefore, in addition to the size of the data, the quality and diversity of the data is also an important consideration.

That is a proper reply, however if you had to estimate the lowest data size in Gigabytes or Terabytes, please do so.

Large Language Models (LLMs) improve in performance by increasing both the size of the dataset and the number of parameters in the model, and the optimal quantity of either factor will vary based on the amount of compute that is at your disposal. Estimates for the optimal model and dataset sizes for a given FLOP budget using the Chinchilla scaling laws (Hoffman 2022) can be found below:
| Model Size |  FLOP Budget |  Tokens |
| --- | --- | ---|
| 4.00E+08 |  1.92E+19 |  8.00E+09 |
| 1.00E+09 |  1.21E+20 |  2.02E+10 |
