In the palm-e paper (https://palm-e.github.io/), when they try to unfreeze and train the LLM on new image data only, there is expectedly a lot of CF on NLP tasks but very interestingly, the effect diminishes greatly with the scale of the LLM prior to training.

From an average -87.3% performance drop on the 12B model to -61.6% on the 84B model then just -3.9% on the 562B model. Felt like we were just shy of an insight breakthrough here.

Is avoiding CF potentially just a matter of sheer scale ?
