No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Existing machine learning (ML) scaling laws relate predictive loss to compute, model parameters, and data. However, as models are increasingly deployed through agentic harnesses, loss alone is insufficient to characterize downstream performance: models with similar loss can exhibit different capabilities in reasoning, retrieval, planning, and adaptation. Yet, no unified framework connects such capabilities to the coupled resources available across the ML lifecycle. We bridge this gap by introducing a capability manifold, a multidimensional framework mapping downstream capabilities to pre-training, post-training, and test-time resources through bounded scaling functions. Analytical Jacobians quantify capability sensitivity to resource changes and interactions. As an initial application, we embed Kaplan- and Chinchilla-type scaling laws and test-time compute within the framework, demonstrating how existing scaling relationships can be unified as trajectories on a common capability manifold.
