Can Table Modeling Scale? Rethinking Tree Models in the Age of Massive Compute

The article examines how the dramatic increase in GPU compute power—illustrated by a single H100 GPU equaling about 200 Hadoop instances—challenges the dominance of tree‑based models for structured data, presents scaling‑law experiments with KMLP and FOUND, and argues that pre‑training can redefine the balance between compute, data, and algorithms.

Can Table Modeling Scale? Rethinking the Tree Model Era Amid Compute Shifts

The article examines how a single NVIDIA H100 GPU delivers roughly 200‑fold more FP16 compute than a 96‑core CPU Hadoop node, explores the "Bitter Lesson" of scaling‑driven AI breakthroughs, and presents large‑scale pretraining experiments that show table and sequence models now exhibit clear scaling laws, challenging the dominance of traditional tree‑based approaches.
